What does the fight mean for each fighter?
The bout at the O2 this evening carries added significance for both men, with the heavyweight showdown marking the 50th professional fight for each of them.
For Chisora, it is expected to be the final chapter of a long and punishing career, with the veteran previously indicating he intends to retire after reaching the milestone.
The 40-year-old has built a reputation as one of the division’s toughest and most durable fighters, sharing the ring with multiple world champions over the course of nearly two decades.
For Wilder, the contest represents an opportunity to reset after a difficult recent run. The former WBC heavyweight champion has suffered a series of high-profile defeats and is seeking a convincing victory to re-establish himself in the division.
A win over Chisora could put Wilder back in contention for major fights, while another setback would raise further questions about his future at the top level.
