The boxing world converges on London on April 4, 2026 for a heavyweight clash that mixes career closure and comeback ambition. At The O2 Arena, veteran Englishman Derek Chisora (36-13) will meet American slugger Deontay Wilder (44-4-1) in a 12-round main event. The bout carries extra narrative weight: Chisora has announced he will retire after this fight, while Wilder — a former WBC champion — is trying to reassert himself in the division. Fans should note that this is billed as the 50th professional bout for both fighters, a milestone that frames the night as more than just another heavyweight card.
Broadcast plans and timing are central for viewers. The promoter and host broadcaster have scheduled coverage and free preliminaries to begin at 2 p.m. ET / 11 a.m. PT, with the main event expected to start at approximately 5:26 p.m. ET / 2:26 p.m. PT (around 10:26 p.m. BST in London). Access requires a DAZN account and purchase of the pay-per-view event; prices vary by territory. Below you will find streaming choices, pricing tiers, betting lines and the full fight card so you can plan how to watch and what to expect in the ring.

Fight details, physicals and what they mean
On paper and in the ring the matchup reads as a contrast of styles and sizes. Derek Chisora arrives at a career-heaviest weight of about 266.7 lbs, standing 6’2″ and known for durability and pressure. He carries a professional ledger of 36-13 with 23 knockouts and has won three straight decisions entering this date. Deontay Wilder, at age 40, is lighter than his opponent at roughly 226.4 lbs, stands 6’7″ and is famous for one-punch power — his record is 44-4-1 with 43 KOs. The weight differential fuels tactical questions about pace, endurance and early-round explosiveness. Oddsmakers favor Chisora, listing him around -225 on the moneyline, with Wilder shown at about +172 and a draw priced near +1500.
Styles and stakes
The narrative is simple but potent: Chisora wants a last great moment at a venue he knows well, while Wilder seeks evidence that his comeback path can still lead to title contention. Ring walks and early rounds will reveal whether Chisora’s added mass slows him later or whether Wilder’s speed and reach can create openings for the knockout he’s known for. There are no world titles on the line; instead the outcome shapes legacy and future opportunities for both men.
Undercard highlights and event structure
The undercard offers several notable contests before the main event. Top support includes a cruiserweight clash between Viddal Riley and champion Mateusz Masternak (European title), and a middleweight WBO interim eliminator featuring Denzel Bentley vs. Endry Saavedra. Other scheduled fights include heavyweights Matty Harris vs. Franklin Ignatius, plus bouts across super featherweight, super lightweight, super welterweight and featherweight divisions. The broadcast will slot undercard bouts ahead of the final three or four fights that build to the headliner, and DAZN’s card timing estimates the main event ring walks at roughly the times noted earlier — though final kickoff depends on how quickly prior contests finish.
Final practical details
To summarize the essentials: the event takes place at The O2 Arena in London on April 4, 2026, the main event is scheduled for 12 rounds, and the sanctioned broadcast is via DAZN as a PPV.
