Derek Chisora aims for 50th fight against Otto Wallin in Manchester

In February 2025, British boxer Derek Chisora is set to compete against Otto Wallin at Co-op Live in Manchester. This match will mark Chisora's 49th professional fight as he approaches his goal of reaching 50 bouts before retirement. The 40-year-old London boxer is currently on a two-fight winning streak, following an emphatic points victory over Joe Joyce in July 2024. He previously faced some setbacks, including a scheduled match against Jarrell Miller that was cancelled due to Miller's legal issues. This fight against Wallin is significant not only as part of Chisora's career milestones but also due to Wallin's strong competitive background, having only lost to notable boxers, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. Wallin, a 34-year-old Swedish southpaw, recently rebounded from a defeat against Joshua, achieving a first-round knockout victory against Onoriode Ehwarieme in the summer. This meeting holds high stakes for both fighters as they both aim to solidify their legacies in the boxing world. Chisora's remarks about bringing “WAR” to Wallin underscore his determination to leave a lasting impression in his penultimate fight. With the anticipation surrounding this clash, boxing fans are eager to see how these seasoned fighters will perform on February 8, 2025, in Manchester.
