Derek Chisora vs. Deontay Wilder – results and post-fight report
In a brutal last-chance heavyweight saloon showdown, Deontay Wilder lived to see another day with a 12-round split decision victory over Derek Chisora on Saturday at the O2 Arena in London.
Former WBC champion Wilder (45-4-1, 43 KO) resigned from his title Tyson Fury in 2021, then lost to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang, but finished in the seventh round last June against Tyrrell Herndon, while Chisora (36-14, 23 KO) has won three times since losing to Fury in 2022.
In a wild opening round, Chisora was lucky not to be disqualified when his corner entered the ring after Wilder almost pushed his fighter over the top rope, and in the second round the home favorite was staggered by a volley of weighty punches from the American.
Chisora did land a decent right hand in the round and the referee seemed to flexible on the 42-year-old in the third quarter as Wilder continued his onslaught.
After a tumultuous fight, Chisora emerged victorious in the fourth round, but Wilder had the advantage in the fifth and the Briton faced pressure from his opponent as the fight reached the halfway point. In round seven, Wilder tried to establish his jab but failed due to his accuracy as he tried to pin Chisora.
The breakthrough came in the eighth period for the “Brown Bomber,” who, after taking a piercing right from Chisora, responded with a sustained attack in the corner that sent Chisora to the canvas. He was badly injured but bravely survived the round, with Wilder earning a point for the jab.
Chisora rallied, supporting Wilder in the ninth round and landing some powerful shots in the 10th, but by the penultimate session he was on the verge of attacking, broke through the ropes and was on top as the fight reached its final frame.
Wilder landed a nice uppercut, but Chisora responded and the two traded punches on the final bell, leaving the fight in the balance.
One of the judges awarded Chisora 115-112, and the score of 115-113 and 115-111 for Wilder ensured the victory for the guest.

In the middleweight division, Amir Anderson (7-0, 7 KO) performed brilliantly, defeating Jordan Dujon (10-7) in the final round of their middleweight meeting.

Frank Warren is promoting a Doncaster show for the first time in over thirty years, while Dave Allen is keen to disrupt the odds in his hometown.
Hrgovic will enter the competition as the clear favorite against Allen after his last victory in Saudi Arabia.
“El Animal” heads into the main event looking to burst the bubble of Allen, who is fighting in Doncaster for the first time in over 10 years.
Over the years, Hrgovic has competed at a higher level, with wins over Zhilei Zhang, Dempsey McKean and Joe Joyce.

He last saw action in the Moses Itauma vs. Dillian Whyte match in Riyad, Saudi Arabia.
The Croatian defeated David Adeleye on a huge scorecard, although he faced some adversity in the eighth round when the Briton reacted well after being dropped himself in the earlier round.
During the period in which Hrgovic did not fight, Allen fought twice, the first in October when he faced Tyson Fury’s last opponent, Arslanbek Makhmudov. at the Sheffield Arena.
“The White Rhino” was outscored over 12 rounds, with the three judges scoring him 109-117, 110-116 and 111-115.
Allen returned four months later when he faced French heavyweight Karim Berredjem, whom he handled easily, stopping his fighter with a minute remaining in the first round.
Allen spoke to professional boxing fans after the pair faced off for the first time during fight week and admitted he was the underdog but was joyful for the opportunity.
“I can’t sit here and say I can beat him, but I know I can compete with him.
“You never really know because you might have a one night stand. I just need one night, like when Lucas Browne left his upper body to finish him off.”
“Or [when he won against] Nick Webb, if I hit any of them, it’s game over.
“So I’m going into this with a little more confidence, more confidence than I’ve ever had before.”
Prediction: Hrgovic will have to be at his best to avoid being dragged into the deep end like he was in the eighth round against Adeleye, but he should have enough points to score over the tough Allen.

Michael Gomez Jr. fight with Lee McGregor
Gomez Jr. wastes no time getting back into the ring. Just 46 days after his victory over Jordan Flynn, he returns to fight against the tough Lee McGregor.
He stopped Flynn in the third round of the fight, with the 30-year-old claiming he suffered a broken jaw.
This was Gomez Jr.’s first appearance. since his arrest by Reece Belotti last February.
He will be hoping to build on his recent win against McGregor, who has also fought just once since defeat last year.
McGregor most recently won a points decision over Emiliano Leonel Araujo in his first appearance since being stopped by Nathaniel Collins.
Prediction: Gomez Jr should have enough points to earn points over 10 rounds.

The fight will last 12 rounds. O’Doherty is coming off a 10th-round stoppage win over Regan Glackin, while Hatim won a unanimous decision over Liam Dillon last September.
Prediction: In a real 50-50 fight, O’Doherty could have the points advantage.
Dave Allen’s welterweight fighter, Joe Hayden, returns to action after an impressive second-round stoppage victory over James Atkins after his last fight, during which he won the first belts of his professional career.
Dave Allen really worked with Joe Hayden

He should have more than enough to beat Ryan Frost again in the later rounds, and Frost has defeated his last four opponents.
Exceptional prospects Asadkhuja Muydinkhujaev and Kian Hamilton return for the second professional appearance of their careers and both will impress. Each of them should win at the break.
Hull’s Ted Jackson returns to action against Mike Byles and should claim his seventh win since turning professional, while amateur standout Bradley Casey should remain undefeated in the cruiserweight division.
Leighton Birchall should stop Leonardo Baez early in the qualifiers, which will also feature Carl Fail.
Maxi Hughes was scheduled to challenge Lewis Sylvester, but the fight was canceled the week of the fight and “Maximus” withdrew for reasons that have yet to be disclosed.
