Derek Chisora, a 40-year-old British veteran with a record of 35 wins and 13 losses, is known for his aggressive, all-action style in the ring. He’s coming off a surprising unanimous decision victory over Joe Joyce in July 2024, which has given his career a late resurgence. Chisora has faced many top heavyweights throughout his career, including multiple fights against Tyson Fury and Dillian Whyte.
Otto Wallin, a 34-year-old Swedish boxer based in New York, is best known for giving Tyson Fury a tough fight in 2019, causing a severe cut that required 47 stitches. Wallin is looking to bounce back after a loss to Anthony Joshua in December 2023.
The stakes are high for both fighters. For Chisora, this fight represents an opportunity to continue his late-career resurgence and potentially set up one final big match before retirement. For Wallin, it’s a chance to re-establish himself as a top heavyweight contender after his loss to Joshua.
This fight wasn’t initially planned. Chisora was originally slated to face Jarrell Miller, but when that fell through due to contractual issues, Wallin stepped in. The matchup was confirmed just a day after Wallin’s birthday, which he described as “the best birthday gift I could’ve asked for.”
The bout is scheduled for 12 rounds and will be broadcast on TNT Sports in the UK and Ireland. As the fight approaches, both boxers are aware of the significance of this matchup. Chisora has promised to bring “WAR” to Wallin, while Wallin acknowledges he’s walking into the “Lion’s Den” but is determined to secure the victory.
