Yes, Deontay Wilder is back in action this weekend, as he faces Derek Chisora in a heavyweight showdown in London.
The fight takes place on Saturday, April 4, 2026 at the The O2 Arena, and it’s one that’s grabbed attention for more than just the matchup itself. Chisora has once again hinted that this could be his final walk to the ring, while Wilder is stepping in with something to prove after a difficult stretch in recent years.
The former heavyweight champion has suffered a string of losses and is visibly past his prime. However, with Chisora also nearing retirement, this is a good chance for Deontay Wilder to get back to the winning column.
There’s a different kind of tension around this one. Not the usual title fight pressure, but the sense that both fighters are standing at a crossroads. Wilder, once known as arguably the most dangerous puncher in the division, is trying to show he still has that edge. Chisora, meanwhile, is leaning into experience and grit, hoping to bow out on his own terms.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy one of the greatest rounds in boxing history. Take it away Deontay Wilder & Tyson Fury 👏
