Will the Wilder vs Chisora ​​fight make it past the first round?

British heavyweight Derek Chisora ​​made his pro boxing debut in February 2007 when he defeated Istvan Kecskes by second round TKO. Chisora ​​would go on to win his next 13 fights.

From that point on, Chisora ​​experienced a career that consisted of a series of ups and downs. After fifteen years of work, Chisora ​​finally got the opportunity to fight for a world title in December 2022.

Derek Chisora ​​had a golden opportunity as he was set to face WBC World Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury. In the opening round of the WBC world title fight, Derek Chisora ​​was very aggressive as he pressed forward and tried to land the upper hand right.

Over the course of the next nine rounds, Fury controlled the distance and the range, landing sharp, accurate punches. With 12 seconds left in round ten, the referee had seen enough when he stepped in and stopped the match.

Chisora ​​would bounce back by defeating Gerald Washington, Joe Joyce and Otto Wallin. Riding a three-fight winning streak, 42-year-old Derek Chisora ​​is about to face one of the most dangerous heavyweights in boxing history.

Deontay Wilder was never known for his boxing skills, but he is feared for his one-punch knockout ability. From 2015 to 2020, Wilder had 10 successful title defenses.

Aside from his dangerous right hand and his five-year reign as the WBC heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder is best known for his participation in the action-packed trilogy against Tyson Fury.

The trilogy was exciting, but unfortunately for Wilder, he finished the series with a record of (0-2-1). Since the conclusion of the trilogy, Deontay Wilder has not looked like the same fighter.

In October 2022, Deontay Wilder looked like he was his old self when he stopped Robert Helenius in the first round. However, Wilder would look unrecognizable when he made a couple of trips to Saudi Arabia.

In December 2023, on the Riyadh Season Day of Reckoning card, Deontay Wilder was thoroughly outboxed as Joseph Parker earned a unanimous decision victory. Six months later, Wilder returned to Saudi Arabia and was brutally stopped by Zhilei Zhang in the 5th round.

After suffering two straight losses, the former WBC world champion bounced back by stopping Tyrrell Herndon in the 7th round. Now 40-year-old Deontay Wilder (44-4-1 43 KOs) is ready to face a very determined opponent.

Derek Chisora ​​is a fighter who likes to constantly press forward to land hooks and land overhand rights. Deontay Wilder has an unconventional boxing style in which he patiently waits for an opening so he can land his devastating right hand.

The Deontay Wilder vs Derek Chisora ​​match will be the classic action packed, fan friendly type of fight. The question is due to Chisora’s aggression and Wilder’s striking power. Will this game make it past the first round?

The answer to that crucial question depends on the mood of Derek Chisora. If Chisora ​​is focused on applying intelligent pressure, we might see a six-to-twelve-round fight.

In addition to using intelligent pressure, Chisora ​​must control the distance and execute his offense from the mid-range. If we’re going to see rounds, then that’s what Chisora ​​has to do.

If Chisora ​​plans to do what he said in the press conference, then Saturday night’s main event will be a short night of boxing. Chisora ​​has suggested that the fight may not reach the second round because his game plan will be “F**k It Let’s Go!”
