SportsTranscript
00:00...fighting out of and representing his hometown of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA!
00:09He is the former WBC Heavyweight Champion of the World, the Bronze Bomber, Deontay Wilder!
00:26Here to give a truncheons referee charge is Mark Bates.
00:43The atmosphere at Fever Pitch, the beautiful boxing cauldron, that is the epic 0-2 arena in London for two
00:53legends.
00:53Two gladiators, two extraordinary personalities in the most glamorous division.
01:01Who can truly predict this battle of the ages?
01:06Chisora with the physical strength, Wilder's dynamite power.
01:11It's England versus America.
01:17She can destroy maybe. Does it go short? Does it go long? Who knows?
01:22Watch that one, Del. He does the right thing creeping forward, but just punching down by that right hand, Wilder.
01:31Really wide base from Wilder. Trying to generate power with that right hand.
01:37Will he let the shot go? Trying to get the right hand in early.
01:42And has Wilder got to hurt Chisora in these first two or three rounds?
01:48He's going to...
01:49Ball rob his way in, Derek Chisora.
01:52But he walks into a right hand of Wilder.
01:54And Fabio Ward, he's going to have to be very careful in there in the play.
01:58Yeah, look, these first four runners are going to be...
02:00They are going to be the most dangerous for Derek Chisora because...
02:04Deontay Wilder will be sharp.
02:06And this wide stance looks like he is priming that right hand.
02:09They're just almost there.
02:11But he is priming that right hand.
02:13And he is going to be as sharp as he can be in these first two or three rounds.
02:17Body shots from Chisora.
02:19That's what he's going to try and do.
02:21Smother Wilder, chip away.
02:23But Wilder with that long base and the jab.
02:27Just a question about what he's got left.
02:30Because the form has been pretty poor, one of us.
02:34You don't lose your power.
02:35You lose your abilities to use your power to pull that trigger.
02:38But it's always there.
02:40It's good that...
02:41Chisora's really cutting his feet up in this fight.
02:43That's quite impressive.
02:44I just like this keeping moving his head as he's coming forward here.
02:47Here you go, Chisora.
02:49What do we got to do?
02:50He just threw the right uppercut a moment to go.
02:52The head of Chisora's very low.
02:54If he's going to do that, which he does do,
02:56he's got to slip and slide and roll.
02:58Keep those elbows tucked in.
03:00Just touching with the jab there, Wilder.
03:02And that's allowing and encouraging Chisora
03:05to really make an attempt to close that gap.
03:08He's got to make that jab a real weapon.
03:11Wilder believes he's in a fabulous place.
03:14He's had a terrific camp.
03:16But can he perform under the lights?
03:18He tries the right hand and that's where Chisora
03:21wants to get inside and really use that big weight advantage.
03:26Heaviest ever, Derek Chisora.
03:29What we don't see anymore from Wilder is being proactive,
03:33really being forthwith on the front foot
03:34and letting heavy shots go.
03:36Look, he's trying to look for that right hand,
03:38but on the back foot.
03:39And when he lets the shot go,
03:40he's just pulling it ever so slightly.
03:42He's got to find that faith to be able to let the right hand go
03:45with full belief.
03:49Well, Mark Beggs, the referee's going to have us try there,
03:51trying to keep these two apart as they tumble over the right.
03:55But the corner is in the lane.
03:57They're getting disqualified.
03:58They're getting disqualified.
03:59That's what happened with Derek.
04:00He's with Steven on the Ricky Hatton night.
04:03And he could be disqualified there.
04:06Derek Chisora.
04:09He won't be, but there's a bit of an error there from the corner.
04:11And I understand the reason why.
04:13You've got to let the referee control the action.
04:18He did be fair to Chisora.
04:19He wasn't letting Wilder jump like lean on him and intimidated him,
04:22is he?
04:23Mark Beggs having a word with Derek Chisora
04:24and the corner.
04:25Don't do that again.
04:28Fortunate there.
04:30But it was Messi over that top rope
04:32and it could be like that.
04:35The two of them trying to find a way.
04:45He was in it in the first round.
04:47Both struggling to land the target.
04:49And this is when a little bit of carnage happened.
04:52John Joe Wilder just leaning on Del Chisora.
04:54Pushing back and throws shots in the corner.
04:56Runs in.
04:58Madness.
04:58Yep.
04:59Madness is what we thought.
05:00We might get the unpredictability of the heavyweight squad
05:03and put these two together.
05:05It's amazing they haven't fought yet throughout their long careers.
05:10And they do right at the end.
05:12The 50th fight for each of these guys.
05:15The American Deontay Wilder.
05:18With those flash of long shots.
05:20Body shot there from Chisora.
05:22Yep.
05:23That's what he's going to do.
05:24And tries a left hook as well.
05:25Wilder of course is struck by Shalei Zhang.
05:29By Joe Parker and Chisora's had better form of late.
05:33That's good from Wilder though.
05:36Trying to tie Chisora.
05:37Lovely haven't got that from Wilder.
05:38What nice of the guy.
05:39Trying to get the leverage.
05:41Henry Hart Chisora.
05:42Out of the back of the head.
05:44Push out.
05:44In regards to Yeltsin Wilder.
05:46In the second round.
05:48It's a muscle.
05:48It's a muscle.
05:49It's a muscle.
05:50It's a muscle.
05:50Back of the head.
05:51Back of the head.
05:52But his chin's tottering there.
05:55Derek Chisora's got a very good chin.
05:57But he was knocked out here by Dillian White.
06:00And he's hurt.
06:03And the two old warriors.
06:05Looking for a gunslinging war here.
06:08This is the fight we was expecting.
06:11It's coming alive now.
06:12To stand in a little tall Wilder.
06:14Unable Chisora to find that right hand.
06:17But it was better work from the American.
06:22Who can keep their shape?
06:23Who can keep the temple going?
06:25Who's trained that bit harder?
06:28And who has more left?
06:32Just getting the right movement there.
06:34Just getting the right movement there.
06:35Just getting the right movement there.
06:35Okay Chisora.
06:36Body shot for Chisora.
06:37Trying to look for Wilder in the neutral corner.
06:45Again, good for Wilder.
06:46I don't know about Chisora to do any work there, Fabio.
06:50Yeah, this style.
06:53This pressure.
06:53This pace.
06:53This rough housing of the fight.
06:55Is going to suit Chisora better.
06:57And not allowing Wilder to work through his strengths.
07:00And get that leverage off.
07:02Is going to work through his advantage.
07:03So, these first couple of rounds.
07:05Although they may be a bit ugly to watch.
07:06And they may be a bit uncomfortable.
07:09But they are working in Chisora's favour.
07:10That's a great wide leverage.
07:13That's what he needs.
07:14But no balance round for Chisora.
07:15And he's definitely troubled by one of those Wilder shots.
07:19Give you an eye on the length of Derek Chisora.
07:22Right-hander getting from Wilder.
07:24Keeps marching through.
07:26Wilder must be getting a bit of confidence down.
07:28Yeah, he took that shot well though.
07:30Chisora with a nice count of right hand from Wilder on the back foot.
07:34Slipping and sliding nicely, Delvin.
07:36You've got to be careful of these uppercuts from Wilder.
07:41Instead of blowing down the right hand Wilder.
07:43He's better off bringing that uppercut through the middle of the garden.
07:47Chisora.
07:49His roughhouse tactics.
07:51Playing into Chisora's world.
07:54Wilder needs room and space.
07:56Tries the uppercut again on the bell.
07:58Very weary Chisora as he goes back to his corner.
08:02But he's used to this.
08:09Yeah, back to your body.
08:11Get that jab working.
08:12He's trying to tighten the uppercut coming in.
08:14Keep your hands fucking low.
08:16Cross over.
08:16You won't be there for the uppercut.
08:17Understand?
08:22Yeah, lovely uppercut there from Wilder.
08:24Chisora coming in.
08:25Trying to close the gap.
08:26The right idea.
08:26But walked on to a shock with a lack of head movement.
08:29But Chisora does.
08:31Just fires back.
08:32Walks through it.
08:33Fires back.
08:33But a little bit of uncomfortable around there for Chisora.
08:36At times.
08:38Yeah, that's what we're seeing differently from Wilder.
08:41To see that.
08:41More of an arm shot.
08:42The Wilder are old and really turned the hits into it.
08:45But there's still plenty of time.
08:50Wilder coming off that victory over.
08:53Tyrell Hendon.
08:54One who's only 24 and 5.
08:57One in seven rounds.
08:58Didn't learn very much.
09:00Chisora was good against Otto Wallen.
09:04Says this is 50 and the end.
09:06Wilder wants to carry on.
09:08He wants to try and fight either Fury again or an easy anti-Joshua of course at ringside.
09:15There are still fights ahead but.
09:18Fabio Wardley.
09:21You'd love one of these wouldn't you?
09:23I'd love one of these.
09:24I was having conversations with both of these before my fire was made.
09:28So either one.
09:29We'll see who comes out on top.
09:30Let's get you and Daniel Dubois done first.
09:33Yeah, I've got something to sort out first and then we'll talk about that a bit later.
09:36Can't wait for that.
09:38This is Messi.
09:40Scrappy.
09:41Two rounds to Wilder on Coles.
09:44Unofficial card.
09:45It's tough really.
09:46They spit the Wilder definitely.
09:48Chisora in that second round.
09:50Good come down there.
09:52He's got more standard there.
09:56It's a long way to go isn't it Darren?
09:58Third of twelve.
09:58They're missing a lot as well aren't they?
10:00That really does empty the tank.
10:02But they were so desperate to land these big hooks over the top.
10:06He's sort of neglected his know-how.
10:08He's got to stab the jab into the body.
10:10Then look for the right hand.
10:11I'm feeling the trainer of Deontay Wilder.
10:14Malik Scott.
10:14Friend of Chisora.
10:16Tony Bell.
10:16You're very animated.
10:18They're living it and loving it.
10:19Malik Scott's fought both of them as well.
10:22Had a long chat with him earlier.
10:23Put it out of Wilder.
10:25He says if he can.
10:26Three shots.
10:27Pull up Chisora.
10:29And he's doing it again in the neutral corner.
10:31Halfway through the third round.
10:33Chisora feeling Wilder's punches.
10:37Just couldn't get the distance right with that right hand with you there Wilder.
10:40It was on target but not the full power in the shot.
10:44So the magic forward over here Chisora.
10:47Working the bottom.
10:49Working the bottom.
10:49Chisora.
10:50Working the bottom.
10:51As he does again.
10:52That rough housing.
10:53That working.
10:54The question here is will that weight play a part?
10:57There's 40 pounds difference between them.
11:00Is that over the round going to play a part?
11:02Will it play a back touch?
11:04Big swings from Wilder and misses.
11:07Had a head to sappy.
11:08Good head over there from Chisora.
11:10Didn't come back with a punch.
11:12Unfortunately even the movement was really good.
11:14But a big fella.
11:19A big deep thrust from Wilder.
11:23Just pouring with the jam isn't it Wilder.
11:27If he threw it properly that jam, he would stop Chisora in his tracks.
11:30Then he could throw the right hand.
11:31And there is the right hand.
11:33Oh Chisora.
11:34This is Wilder.
11:35Back in the head for Wilder.
11:37Mark Vex has got a job in there tonight.
11:42Just blinking to Derek Chisora.
11:44Something's wrong with his eye.
11:46Here it comes Wilder.
11:47Chisora's in trouble in his corner.
11:51I mean you can't just...
11:54There's a real problem here for Derek Chisora.
11:57Maybe with his vision.
11:58The bell comes.
12:00What's happened?
12:01He's having a chat with the referee.
12:03Is it a glove in the eye?
12:04Something's amiss.
12:06But he's not happy at all.
12:11I mean I don't think you could...
12:13The referee didn't stop the fight.
12:15But then stopped him when Chisora had a problem with his eyes.
12:18I don't know what happened there.
12:20Yeah that's...
12:21The corner's getting involved again with the referee.
12:23Meanwhile we're in Paris in a couple of weeks.
12:26It's non-stop.
12:27Acoli and Yoka.
12:29Looking forward to that one Fabio in your division.
12:32Again more heavyweights.
12:33A thriving heavyweight division.
12:35Acoli, Acoli, Yoka.
12:37And then kicking on somewhere for the WBC in there somewhere.
12:40Probably whoever wins that fight will be shouting the name Cabael.
12:43Yeah, Ajit Cabael was good in January wasn't it?
12:46Go away, go away in that.
12:47Fabio back of course made the night against Daniel Dubois.
12:51But we've got to Herjavich and Alan.
12:53But it's all eyes on who can get the victory here.
12:57Something trouble Derek Chisora end of the third.
13:01You don't need the identification but Deontay Wilde has got the fabulous funky outfit on.
13:06Did we hear what's wrong with his eyes there Chisora?
13:09Very, very uncomfortable isn't he in the corner there.
13:14That's only going to give Wilde a confidence.
13:17He hasn't taken a back step though.
13:19He's still just marching forward.
13:21Launching hooks, hooks, hooks.
13:23I'd like to see him set the tracks a little bit more.
13:26Chisora.
13:26Throw that jab to the body.
13:28The stabbing jab.
13:29Then throw that overhand right.
13:30It's a little predictable.
13:32Saying it could be said for Wilde too.
13:34Just telegraphing the shots.
13:37That's Rimeji with Tyson Fury.
13:40Surely took something out of Deontay Wilde.
13:42But he's still going and he still wants this.
13:46Power of Deontay Wilde.
13:47But he doesn't turn his hands over.
13:49Certainly with the left.
13:49I think he hit you with the left side.
13:51With the fingers.
13:52You can hear it.
13:53They're so powerful.
13:54And when he knocked out Luis Ortiz in that second fight.
13:58It was a thot in Vegas.
14:02Unbelievable power.
14:03But he can generate 43 of the 44 victories by knockout.
14:11Let it go.
14:11Let it go.
14:12Is the shout from the Wilde fans.
14:15Chisora.
14:17Bullish and coming into range.
14:19Better from Wilde though.
14:22Even though the pressure from Chisora.
14:24He is leaning on Wilde.
14:25But no touches have really had any effect.
14:27He hasn't really had any effect on Wilde yet.
14:34Another twist there.
14:40That weight advantage.
14:43With Chisora.
14:45Wilde just has a good go for there.
14:47But he's in great condition.
14:49Or should be under Don House.
14:51But he is 40 now.
14:53And he's seen an awful lot both of them aren't they?
14:55Wasting a lot of energy.
14:58I think Wilde should try and push Chisora back a little bit.
15:00But you're not going to do that unless you throw a solid jab.
15:04Like you know what he's going to do.
15:05Just let him run.
15:06Let him walk himself onto it.
15:08Just set him.
15:08Tee him onto it.
15:10Waits so long doesn't he?
15:12That's better.
15:13There.
15:13That was a better right hand.
15:14And again from Wilde.
15:16Tries it twice.
15:21And Wilde has had it.
15:22At the end of the fourth round.
15:25And there goes Wilde's order.
15:27But Wilde says,
15:28All right then.
15:29And bring one back.
15:30And suddenly it lights up here.
15:32Wilde and the 0-2.
15:33That was a lovely overhand right wasn't it from Chisora.
15:36He took it well though Wilde.
15:37He did take it well.
15:39And Chisora tries it out.
15:42Tickle shot Wilde says.
15:43Okay.
15:44The small body shot.
15:46And now we've got to fight.
15:49Oh he sounds like he's thrown that right down.
15:50Chisora.
15:52Great finish to the round from Jerry Chisora.
15:55Bounds on their feet at ringside.
15:57Birds going to save the odds in Wilde.
16:01I think Noel Gallagher's somewhere here amongst the madness.
16:10I know.
16:11Wow.
16:11What do you make of it so far?
16:12How's Derek doing?
16:13That was his best round so far.
16:15He's got to get in between his reach.
16:19But he can club him.
16:20He can go down.
16:21He's got a shot.
16:21It's quite tense watching.
16:22He's your friend.
16:23How are you?
16:24Out here.
16:25Derek Chisora's right handed.
16:28Wilde took it.
16:29Trying to fight fire with fire.
16:31But it was a good end for the Brits.
16:33I mean.
16:35That's the pleasure of his career.
16:36He's thrown out so many times haven't he?
16:38To finish a fight.
16:40Oh great shot.
16:41And he took it so well.
16:41Look at Tony.
16:42Slickers out.
16:45Every moment.
16:47I love this sport.
16:48Fifth round here.
16:51Chisora and Wilde.
16:53Excellent fourth for Derek Chisora.
16:55Wilde has also had a little bit of success as well.
16:58What has it taken out of them?
17:00Body shot from Chisora.
17:02Right hand from Wilde.
17:03What happens next boys?
17:07Oh no.
17:09This isn't right hand well doesn't he Chisora.
17:13Taking a lot on the side of the head.
17:15On top of the head.
17:17He always just takes a little bit off it.
17:19Just enough I think to not make it concussive.
17:22And not make it take you out.
17:24Fabio in whose corner would you rather be in at this stage?
17:27At this stage I think I would rather be in Chisora's corner.
17:31He's pushing the fight.
17:32Deontay looks a bit more tight.
17:34A bit more with this.
17:36That last round was a heavy round for Deontay Wilde as well.
17:38He took some big shots there.
17:40And we know what Del Boye like is through the gears.
17:43Through the rounds.
17:43He can just maintain this ridiculous engine at this age.
17:49I don't know if you saw the white t-shirt of Anthony Joshua over there.
17:54He was also cheering on Chisora now.
17:57Chisora is fumbled over.
17:59We've had the scene on the ropes.
18:00When the corner man came in.
18:02Wilde has hit the canvas as well.
18:05No knockdowns yet.
18:06And look at the corner of Wilde.
18:07They're really trying to wave him on.
18:09Trying to get him to be positive on the front foot.
18:11He just wasn't responding.
18:12I think it was the fractaline they were worried about.
18:15In the Chisora's corner.
18:17On Wilde in the eye maybe.
18:20And there's the right hand again.
18:22Wilde can't get out of the way of it.
18:24Doesn't need to be taking too many more of those.
18:29Just chipping away.
18:31Isn't he?
18:32Chisora.
18:33And he's getting a bit closer.
18:34He throws that right.
18:35And he's better.
18:36And he wants to wipe the body.
18:39Chisora trying to find a little cut as well.
18:41Just missing with a huge overhand right.
18:43Chisora.
18:44Huge haymaker.
18:45If Wilde are going to time down with the uppercut.
18:47Knee back upon that uppercut.
18:48Why is he?
18:49He's so fearful of taking that shot.
18:53See Wilde that lack of jabs just cost him so much here.
18:56Isn't it?
18:59Yeah that positivity.
19:02Hard down there Chisora.
19:06Is it a case of who's expending more energy as well?
19:09The kid that's really labored as he gets to his feet.
19:13Who can manage it when they are tired?
19:14And Chisora.
19:15He's got that weird thing where he's tired after two rounds.
19:20But then doing the same work.
19:21And he looks just as tired after 10 rounds.
19:24It's two 40 year old men.
19:27You have to take that into account as well.
19:29And they've been going hell for leather since the beginning.
19:32Since the first bell round.
19:34They have not stopped throwing punches.
19:35Some have landed.
19:36Some have missed.
19:37They've both been hurt a bit.
19:39It's had it all.
19:40Yep you're actually right Fabio.
19:42They go into their 40s and still entertaining us.
19:4750th fight each.
19:49100 Calis Island called it.
19:53And of course Darren you expect it to be ugly and messy at times as well.
19:57Because there is still that ambition to get the W by all means.
20:02Yeah so.
20:03The times they are.
20:05The mother fight each other.
20:06They're going to miss with the big wild swings.
20:10Chisora.
20:11It's almost as if he gets into his second wind after the first round.
20:18And now it's Wilder's turn to blink and walk quite slowly back to the blue corner.
20:26Been in with everyone.
20:28Derek Chisora hasn't he?
20:30Former British Commonwealth European two time world title challenger.
20:33And let's not forget.
20:34Deontay Wilder had that huge long reign as WBC champion.
20:39And the three fights with Tyson Fury.
20:41I mean the wear and tear on the pair of them.
20:44And they're still trying to deliver.
20:48Have some fun out there.
20:50Back him up.
20:52Stay off the road.
20:53See.
20:54The reason he's fallen down five times.
20:56Is his hip suck.
20:58When you keep stacking up in a straight line.
21:00He don't have to work his hips.
21:02Pivot.
21:03Pivot.
21:03Jump slide.
21:04Jump slide.
21:06Pivot and fire.
21:07Pivot and fire.
21:08Pivot and fire.
21:09Pivot and fire.
21:09Don't keep going.
21:10He's got legs ten times better than him.
21:12He's an old man.
21:13Pivot and fire.
21:14Says Jay Diaz who's been with him forever.
21:16Shelley Finkel somewhere around as well as long term manager.
21:21And Deontay Wilder was trained by Malick Scott for a while.
21:23He's got Don House in the corner.
21:25Good people around him but they can't do the fighting for him.
21:31Sixth round here.
21:34Good shot.
21:35From Wilder.
21:37She'll give that one, didn't she?
21:38She's off.
21:40She's off.
21:41She's off.
21:42Yeah.
21:43Again as you said Fabio.
21:45Just took the stinger.
21:46Just takes a little bit off the end of it.
21:48Just manages to pull out just in time.
21:50Take him off of it.
21:51Big right straight from Dezora.
21:53But here comes Wilder.
21:55On the right here.
21:56But a lot is missing.
21:58Slipping and sliding.
21:59Wilder's over those shots.
22:00Again needs to look for the uppercut.
22:02Wilder.
22:03I think they both need to look for the uppercut.
22:07Because the space is there.
22:09The only thing with Wilder looking for the uppercut.
22:11Although I'm sure he would have success.
22:13He's vulnerable to the right hand over the top from Dezora.
22:16Just like that.
22:17He just stands so tall.
22:19He won't get under the shot with it.
22:21He won't follow behind it.
22:24And we know obviously with Dezora he's trademarked overhand right.
22:27And we've seen what that's done for the likes of Joe Joyce and many others.
22:30Joe Joyce, the fighting out with Oleksandr Rusek, Vitaly Klitschko, David Haye.
22:37Right uppercut.
22:38Tried by Wilder.
22:40That's back on his own line.
22:41Working from the body up.
22:43Slow those legs down and then finish off with a good shot up top.
22:47And leaning on Deontay Wilder in his own corner.
22:51That's obviously part of the plan too.
22:56But Wilder's got to stop throwing single shots here and come back before that right hand.
23:01Come back with that left hook.
23:02Fully committed to the right hand.
23:04Then the rotation will bring that left hook into play.
23:07Wait is far too much, isn't he, Wilder?
23:10Are they really feeling their age, Fabio?
23:14I don't know if they're even feeling their age.
23:16I think if I was in the ring, I'd be feeling the pace.
23:18Because like you said, they haven't stopped throwing punches.
23:21Some have landed, some have missed.
23:23Both have been, it's just been all out action.
23:27And not to quote it, but all out war, like she's always said it would be.
23:31What's it like when you've got someone that much bigger leading all over you?
23:36Yeah, look, it's something you have to manage.
23:38But for Deontay Wilder, it shouldn't be something too new.
23:40Because he's had to deal with it, with the likes of Zhili Zhang, for example.
23:44Where, yeah, okay, he lost the fight.
23:46But throughout his whole career, he hasn't been the heaviest of fighters either.
23:49So this shouldn't be particularly new to him.
23:52He should have the wearer to kind of keep the range, extend your arm and keep them on the long
23:58end.
23:59There's a cut as well, Fabio, to Derek Chisora's left eye, blinking again.
24:04We remember the confusion.
24:06Two or three runs ago.
24:08A jab there from Chisora, wasn't it? Lovely jab.
24:10Really nice guy.
24:11I bet there was a white uppercut that stunned Chisora for a second there.
24:14Yeah, I think the blunt trickling has given a wide right hand for the barrel.
24:20He took it, Derek Chisora soaks it up.
24:23What on earth is he made of?
24:25Incredible, the man from North London, but that's a cut that Russ Amber's got to deal with.
24:35Oh, God!
24:37This is the deal, ladies.
24:39Get a bucket, get a bucket, get a bucket, get a bucket, get a bucket!
24:42There he is, dude!
24:44I need you to get the jab working again.
24:46Listen, you're going for your upper car.
24:48You need to get closer with your front front double the jab to stop the upper car, you understand?
24:52You need to follow the hook and work on your upper car, you understand?
24:55Alexis Stimitrard is in the corner.
24:57Ruben Tabaras, who's with David Hay for a long time.
25:00Russ Amber, absolute legend.
25:02They've got great people around them.
25:05And the two of them are putting on a show.
25:07Yeah, they really are.
25:09Some good work there from Wilder at the end.
25:11We see that uppercut just grazing the target and just finishing with a nice solid one-two.
25:15But the machine that is Chisora takes it and shrugs it off.
25:19I'm going to ask you at the halfway point, who wins the fight?
25:23I mean, in a fight like this, but it's so scrappy.
25:25I mean, can you pick a winner here?
25:29It's a real struggle.
25:30It's up for grabs, that's for sure.
25:32Yeah, look, it's open.
25:34It's still, look, we're seven rounds in and it's still anyone's game because anyone can land.
25:39We've seen them both hurt.
25:40Both are a bit tired, a bit weary.
25:42So, look, it's slapping the middle.
25:45We thought that beforehand.
25:48You couldn't predict the unpredictable.
25:51Chisora marching forward again.
25:53Wilder having success at the set.
25:55Karl can't split them.
25:57Three apiece.
25:57There it is.
26:01There it is.
26:03Anna Kane, the fan zone.
26:04Three judges at ringside for them, which is in front of us.
26:11Will it go to them though?
26:13Plenty of time for a knockout still to be found.
26:17Both of them could hit hard late.
26:20That was better from Chisora there.
26:22Two shots to the body.
26:23Then went upstairs with the left hook.
26:26Didn't telegraph anything there, didn't he?
26:28Didn't show anything.
26:29But you've got to try and stay on the chest without allowing Wilder to hold him.
26:32So, I would throw the three or four punches.
26:35Good shot.
26:35Lovely shot from Wilder.
26:37Back comes Chisora.
26:39Wilder swinging and now getting his elbow in there.
26:42Mark Basel tell him off.
26:43He's overreaching there, Wilder.
26:45Because then he's throwing that shot and then he's getting too close.
26:47And not being able to catalise on the mistake Chisora makes.
26:52Body shots again from Chisora.
26:55Trying to test the Wilder legs.
26:57They've always been long and skinny for his body.
27:01And the power in that right arm.
27:04I remember Ben Davison telling him he comes from me.
27:06Bones in the wrist.
27:08Can he still detonate?
27:10One huge shot late on.
27:13Or Chisora found a ride of his own.
27:16Both have been down a few times.
27:20He gets his time from speed, doesn't he?
27:22Wilder.
27:23But he's got to be fully extended.
27:24The shot you don't throw from long to get the time.
27:27He needs the power in that right hand.
27:28He needs the range.
27:30He needs the whip.
27:30And he's just not.
27:31Like on this here.
27:33Turn it over right there.
27:34Give yourself the space.
27:36But he lets himself get backed up.
27:37Backed up.
27:38Backed up.
27:38Backed up.
27:38And then Chisora here will start letting hands go.
27:42Walks into an uppercut though.
27:44Chisora doing quite as much.
27:46The jab fell short.
27:47Is he feeling the pace.
27:50Career heaviest.
27:52Derek Chisora.
27:53That was for a reason.
27:54But there's a smile with Deontay Wilder.
28:00He's just really struggling to commit to the shots Wilder.
28:05The Wilder of old would jump in with a big solid one-two.
28:09He would have detonated on that straight away.
28:11Like that.
28:12Almost.
28:12Just there.
28:13Drop out and bars over Derek Chisora.
28:16Half a shot and half just a tumble.
28:21I mean they've got to be feeling this now.
28:26Chisora dragged him down there to be fair.
28:29He lost his balance but he took Wilder with him.
28:34Let's get over to Adi who's got AJ with him.
28:50What a wonderful setting.
28:52We'll catch up with AJ shortly I think.
28:55But you can't take your eyes off this.
28:57It's not pretty.
28:59Obviously they are older warriors.
29:01But how much they want it still.
29:03The timing might not be quite what it was.
29:05The speed or the skills.
29:07But the commitment and the will to win.
29:11You can't pretend can you.
29:12But what's going to happen is.
29:13When the fatigue is setting in now for both.
29:15Someone's going to make a mistake.
29:18And that's what's going to be the goal for one of these fighters here.
29:20Which makes the Gemini United exciting for us.
29:22Yeah.
29:23But can the other capitalise on the mistake?
29:26Seconds out.
29:27Round eight.
29:29Five to go.
29:31Into the eighth round.
29:32Derek Chisora from Finchley in London.
29:35Deontay Wilder from Alabama.
29:37They're getting a word from Mark Bates.
29:39Clean it up.
29:40Tidy it up.
29:41A lot of respect between the pair and the build up.
29:44There was no nastiness.
29:47Chatting on FaceTime.
29:48But there is pride.
29:50And there is I guess a prize.
29:53If Derek Chisora is going to carry on beyond 50.
29:56Wilder said he will.
29:58There might be more paydays ahead.
30:02That's where he's having his success now.
30:04Chisora.
30:04But he throws a two to the body.
30:06And comes back with the right hand.
30:09Waiting too long.
30:10Again Wilder.
30:11Chopping down with the right hand.
30:12But he has such a good knack.
30:16He has such a good knack of taking this thing out of the shot.
30:19And again keen eyes from both supporters of both fighters here.
30:23How much is it taking out of Malik and Tony at ringside?
30:29They haven't stopped the pair of them.
30:33They almost want to get in there.
30:35Huge run out for Chisora.
30:37And Wilder comes back with one of his own.
30:41And now Chisora's hand in the end frame.
30:44Is this the moment for the O2 Wilder?
30:47Chisora swinging for the end.
30:50But Wilder has had him.
30:51And there's drama here in the eighth round of the O2.
30:57Both of them having their success big time.
31:00And a minute and 40 to go.
31:03Heavy, heavy shots from Wilder there.
31:05And he seems to have won up the storm.
31:08Chisora.
31:09Backing up Chisora into his corner.
31:11And what he's asking if he doesn't have a fight.
31:12He's in pitch level.
31:14He's able to move with the left hand.
31:16And he will get a count for the first time in the fight.
31:19And it looks like the old warrior Derek Chisora
31:22might be near the end here.
31:25Deontay Wilder works in the neutral corner.
31:28He has huge amounts of time in the round.
31:32And now...
31:32Why is he taking it so easy?
31:34Run at him.
31:35The moment for the bronze bomber.
31:37To land one huge shot.
31:39Or is there respect between the pair?
31:42This is extraordinary.
31:43They pushed him through the ribs there.
31:45The ribs are loose I think.
31:48I think the ribs are loose there.
31:49And he pushed him through.
31:49Not on purpose.
31:52Just before he threw that right hand.
31:54He said to Chisora, I love you.
31:57But listen, we love them both.
31:59But I mean...
32:00Why didn't he tee off on Derek Chisora?
32:03I think there was some sort of respect there.
32:05I don't know about that.
32:06I don't know.
32:07He's had a point taken up for him to act in the drama.
32:10I don't know.
32:11Harsh maybe.
32:12Harsh.
32:12I don't think there was enough force with the push there to be honest.
32:14I think the ribs look a little bit loose.
32:17Possibly.
32:17How much has Derek Chisora got left?
32:20And sometimes...
32:21Kits his way through.
32:23Look at that jab.
32:24But he's got to be feeling these shots from Wilder.
32:27Well, how many times have Chisora anchored himself in that corner there?
32:30Just to get his legs steady before throwing that big one down.
32:32Stop watching!
32:33Look at what I don't know if there's Wilder waiting for.
32:36You can't really miss the bump there, Fabio.
32:44There's another right hand from Wilder.
32:47And Chisora backed up again.
32:49The power of the bronze bomber.
32:51He might just be a shot away, but Chisora...
32:54Can he end?
32:56Can he pass you on the ground?
32:58And Chisora has Wilder all over the place.
33:02One of the best three minutes you'll see in 2026.
33:07Absolute drama.
33:09From the first battle to the last.
33:12And they're still understanding everyone on their feet at ringside.
33:16Let's try and get over to AJ.
33:18In and amongst it with Addy.
33:24AJ, this is war.
33:26We knew it was going to be war anyway, but this is even crazier than we expected it.
33:30How are you seeing this fight?
33:31In terms of entertainment?
33:33Yeah.
33:34Really good.
33:34Two veterans going at it.
33:36This ain't about technique.
33:37This is just about who wants it the most.
33:39And we know what Chisora's got.
33:40He always seems to be able to go to the well.
33:42Wilder is going to the well as well.
33:44Who do you think's got enough left in the tank in these last...
33:56What's going on?
33:59What's going on?
34:03What's going on?
34:17Really fun fight.
34:17Really enjoying it.
34:17Well done AJ.
34:17Thank you bro.
34:18Good night.
34:19Don't think many thought he would go as far as this, did they?
34:23Into the ninth round.
34:24Oh, good right hand from Wilder.
34:27It took it well Chisora.
34:28He's finding that right hand more than he has the last three rounds of the whole fight so far.
34:33Both of them finding the punches and the gaps.
34:38Couldn't come down to.
34:39He just is more vulnerable at this stage.
34:43Right hand from Chisora.
34:45Look at him swinging away to the body.
34:47Is that taking something out of Wilder?
34:50He's just starting to complain to Mark Bates.
34:52He's had a point taken off him.
34:58Chisora so used to these sort of fights.
35:01The way he fights when he's ready literally is all over the place.
35:05The way he can muster up that combination like he did at the end of that round is just supernatural.
35:18I don't mind this from Chisora.
35:20When he backs off into the ropes in the corner,
35:22he's almost inviting Wilder onto the shot, isn't he?
35:25That's how he had success at the end of the last round.
35:27Missing wildly there though.
35:28Big right hand from Chisora.
35:30Ruben Tavares just came up to me and said,
35:32how have you guys got it?
35:33I'm not sure how have we got it.
35:36Again, I don't think anyone in here is particularly sure how to have it.
35:39It's a bit of wonder.
35:40Like the last round was evened off with a knockdown and a point deduction.
35:43So it's close.
35:46It's either side.
35:48Yep, Chisora taking the count, went out the ropes a couple of times.
35:51Well, they're a bit loose right now from Wilder.
35:54J.D. has loved that in the blue corner.
35:56He is finding it, Deontay Wilder.
35:58We wonder whether his legs, his reflexes,
36:01whether he can pull the trigger.
36:02He's trying very, very hard tonight.
36:04He is.
36:04He's finding it better the way this fight's going.
36:10What's that about Chisora?
36:22No wonder it's slightly slower after the three minutes they gave us in the eighth round,
36:28which whatever happens will be remembered as one of the great toe-to-toe dramatic heavyweight sessions.
36:40This feels, to me, really is down to conditioning now.
36:44Who's got that last little bit to really force a bit more pace into this contest?
36:50Show that positive body language.
36:53A.J. was saying, you know, technique out the window.
36:55It's just two gunslingers, isn't it?
36:58This is exactly what that is.
37:00It's exactly what it's been from the first second that battle rang.
37:03Yeah, it's just been two gunslingers shooting out.
37:12Outro Music
37:13Outro Music
37:14Outro Music
37:15You're hitting him.
37:16Now we've got to put more than one punch together.
37:18Put three cool punches together.
37:19And then throw that fog.
37:21Outro Music
37:24Outro Music
37:38Outro Music
37:39I mean, who can find that shot? Who can increase the tempo? Who can keep defensively more sound?
37:49It's going to be those finer details now for a few to go the last few rounds here.
38:02Chisora has been down. Is he down on the cards? Who knows?
38:07Deontay Wilder has had his success, so too, as Del Boyle wore Chisora.
38:14Wilder looking for victory, number 45. Chisora, number 37.
38:19He's got his family here. He saw the emotion, the tears in his eyes in the ring walk.
38:25What's he got now? Chisora, nine minutes to go.
38:29I'll tell you, more of that from Wilder. You'd think I've done a bit of that left.
38:32It was a lovely punch.
38:34I think he's been good in spells tonight, Wilder. Better than maybe I thought he would be.
38:39I've still been a little bit disappointed. I think he'll have done a lot more here.
38:43And Chisora, I mean. The accuracy for Chisora hasn't been as good.
38:48Playing possum there like he has throughout his career, Chisora.
38:54Wilder again talking to Chisora.
38:58That game here in a situation like this for Wilder.
39:00A poppy jab. Leave it out. Line up that right hand.
39:04I think he heard you.
39:06He's trying Fabio.
39:08But that jab just hasn't really connected.
39:10Into the body there.
39:12That's the right shot there.
39:13Jab, stop the movement. Jab to the body. Jab to the shoulder.
39:16Hit him off by it. Then throw the right hand for Wilder.
39:18You know what Chisora's looking for here.
39:23Yeah, that right hand to the temple.
39:25Could disorientate him again.
39:27The cross-arm defense looking to spring out maybe Chisora.
39:31It's got to be a bit careful though.
39:32Talking to each other in that.
39:37He's thinking he's here Wilder, well.
39:39See if Chisora's thinking he falls for us.
39:48Turn south for Chisora.
39:50Just from the march and downwards into a right hand.
39:53And when he gets that leverage as Fabio had said earlier.
39:56He gets the shots off.
39:57But a nice one back from Chisora.
39:59But when he starts with the body he gets momentum.
40:01So he throws in combinations then Chisora.
40:04You throw three or four.
40:05And once one hits the target the rest of them do.
40:11Fabio, how draining at this stage for the power of them.
40:14You've been in late battles yourself.
40:17Yeah, I've been in some wars that have gone on to ten, eleven rounds.
40:21In war of attrition.
40:23And again, the boxing goes out the window.
40:27It becomes a battle of heart, will, grit, determination.
40:31And again, we're going to find out with these two men in the ring who has the most.
40:35Scrunching right hand from Chisora.
40:37Wilder tries to come back, but this is good for the Englishman.
40:41Chisora's so heavy-handed.
40:43When he throws that right hand, he hits you with the fingers.
40:45He doesn't turn the handle though.
40:46Imagine running the key like if he ran over the top.
40:48He's surely got the knuckles to the target.
40:51He's going to try to teach him now at this stage of his lane.
40:53Body shots from Chisora.
40:55He's had a better round here.
40:56Tell you what though, Wilder's taken a good couple of shots here hasn't he?
40:59The punch resistance.
41:00It's the best I've seen in a while.
41:05Yeah, they're clapping him in the red corner.
41:08He finds something, doesn't he, Chisora?
41:11When it looks like he's absolutely shattered.
41:14You need to try to really run fast.
41:17You're not going to fucking through it.
41:18I need to grab it.
41:19Cue down the right hand.
41:21Cue down the right hand.
41:22Cue down the right hand.
41:23You need to get a jab.
41:24What is that thought when he's round?
41:26Do you understand?
41:27You need to fuck it.
41:28You need to fuck it.
41:32Well, he's here.
41:34He should be doing this.
41:37Live for us.
41:45As the celebs.
41:48Watch the toe to toe war.
41:50Trying to gauge how people are seeing it at ringside.
41:54Victoria's board have got Wilder one up.
42:01Malik picks his pal Wilder's up.
42:04I do as well, to be honest.
42:06It's close.
42:07No, it's the hard run score, but I've got Wilder ahead.
42:09Round 11, there was the knockdown.
42:11Remember that, but he also got a point taken off.
42:13Wilder with the uppercut.
42:16Nobody thought it would go this far, really.
42:19He said it had to end with a knockout.
42:22This is the round that Chisora was flattened by Dillian White after their first epic in Manchester.
42:28And he was laid out, wasn't he, by a left hand.
42:31But he's coming on again at Wilder.
42:33Yeah, look at those body shots again.
42:35Chisora.
42:36That's better with a jab to the body than he can follow the right hand upstairs.
42:40But Wilder let that right uppercut go as Del falls over that front foot.
42:46Chisora promised pressure.
42:48And he's delivered.
42:49But the accuracy hasn't been there.
42:51So I don't think he's been as effective.
42:52And Wilder's been able to come with it a little bit better than what we all thought.
42:56Good clean shots there from Wilder.
42:58A right hand and a jab.
43:01He's taken the power out of the shots.
43:04Wilder, he's loosened up a little bit.
43:05This has allowed him to be a lot more accurate for the shots.
43:09Chisora just done a lot more jabs.
43:11Just doing a little bit more smarter work.
43:13A little bit more deep to the body.
43:14Just a bit more tactical in the way he's going about his work.
43:22Both corners must be slightly concerned how the judges have it.
43:31Chisora with the right hand and the body shot.
43:36Good work, especially when he got low.
43:38He jumped high as well and then worked on to the body.
43:41Good shot from Wilder though.
43:43With the right hand, Chisora takes it under Gary and then he comes forward.
43:48Granite like chin.
43:54Clifton Mitchell, former European heavyweight title.
43:57Challenge is engrossed right alongside us.
43:59So are you, Fabio.
44:00You have to be in this.
44:02These are my kind of fights.
44:04This is what boxing is.
44:06It is the entertainment sport.
44:07This is the nothing but drama and entertainment all from the beginning.
44:12We're loving it here.
44:13The fans are loving it.
44:17Wilder still has played it.
44:18Right hand and Chisora goes through the rotting game.
44:21Three, four, five, six, seven, six.
44:27And he's been counted.
44:28Oh.
44:31Did he take up a count mode?
44:33I don't know.
44:33Can you get inside the game?
44:34Can you take the outside?
44:35Right hand again from Wilder.
44:38He's buoyed by this that Chisora's falling through the ropes.
44:44He's fucked on.
44:45He shots his head.
44:47Haley and Lubbock.
44:50A slip, he's looking down, the referee no knockdown, I don't want to say he looked like a slip but
44:56he could catch him with a shot so he didn't know there was much on him.
44:59So now the fights are counted in a manner of traumatic, slight burst of one again to the right, and
45:06off to the ball to two, so the world is going to come on, it has turned into a royal
45:12street ball.
45:17Absolute madness, here at the O2, in London, one to go here.
45:27Wow.
45:34Well that was madness there when he just, he just, he don't catch him with a shot there, he sort
45:37of, again he pushes him, not on purpose but he sort of comes low, he throws the top over the
45:43shot.
45:43And then he goes through the two ropes there Tesoura, I mean the referee can call it doesn't he?
45:50Go hold it, head off, go hold it.
45:53Ten seconds.
45:54That's one.
45:55Go hold it, head off, head off, three into the right, three into the right.
45:58Dave Colwell's eye at each side, he's got no idea who's winning it and he normally scores brilliantly so.
46:04you just have, how are the three judges splitting them up with these rounds, there's been so much
46:11that has actually happened, it's not been technical, hardly a jab has been landed correctly
46:17but I'll tell you what, they have delivered a fight, a real fight, a war, they've wanted it
46:23and who can dig deeper in this final round, we remember the drama when Wilder fought Fury for
46:29the first time in that final session in LA, are we going to get something similar?
46:34I'll tell you what, we're going to get two fighters here that are going to have to fight as if
46:39they're losing
46:40they're going to have to give it all they've got left in this final round, Chisora in his final fight
46:48leave it all in the ring, everything you've got, Wilder, some good shots in the back front, you heard Chisora
46:56Wilder's going to push as he's coming in, when he gets in close, he's got to hold him, turn him
47:00and get back in the centre of the ring, and Chisora has got a dip blow, punch fire
47:05and he goes back onto the ball and works out the ladder
47:09Chisora comes back in, a body shot, gets us in the neutral corner, look at these two
47:16they've owed us nothing before tonight, with what they've delivered throughout their careers
47:22and they have had a real fun ball here tonight, that's why it's been entertainment
47:28and we still have that news guard winner
47:31well how are the judges going to judge it, because this hasn't been a boxing match
47:35it has been a war, it has been a fight, so what are they judging and what are they screwing
47:40and what are they liking?
47:42everyone on ringside here on their feet
47:45AJ absolutely loving it, trying to get directions all over the line
47:50the crowd trying to rally him
47:52he's had a big round of issues, there was everything
47:54at the minute, that could change them
47:58left hooks, right hands, yeah he's had some combinations
48:01and some success here, have a look at that
48:04on Karl's guard he's got Wilder wide, fan zones have got Wilder up
48:08I think Wilder probably is, but you just don't know
48:14for me he's been cleaning the shots
48:16and you have to score that, in the scummy rolls you have to score that
48:22Jeff and Wilder out again
48:24I've not seen much of that I believe this evening
48:27where was that two rounds ago?
48:28a very hard fight to score
48:31for a fight you just can't take your eyes off
48:37the effort and commitment of these two old warriors
48:40inside the last 30 seconds
48:42of a contest we never thought would go this far
48:46there's been counts, there's been drama, both have been hard
48:50you've just got to keep doing that now, Trezor
48:52if it's in him, and I don't know how it is throwing him
48:55you've just got to keep doing that
48:56the seconds are ticking down
48:58is this the last we're going to see of Derek Trezor
49:01same with Deontay Wilder
49:04who's going to get the W
49:05Cali Salvin leading the applause at ringside
49:08there's the respect
49:10Deontay Wilder celebrating
49:12Derek Trezor looks shattered
49:15and he rests on the ropes
49:18and it was a mighty effort
49:20a titanic effort
49:22Wilder believes he's done enough
49:25I think on the course of the 12 rounds
49:27I probably agree
49:29but look, it was one of those
49:31that it doesn't really matter how it was scored
49:34it was 12 rounds of entertainment for the fans
49:37and they delivered that
49:38yeah, it was a massively scrappy affair
49:40for a start to finish and we have expected that
49:42difficult
49:42that's all
49:42what's up
