In what could potentially be his final fight on British soil, Derek Chisora delivered a gritty performance to secure a unanimous points victory over Otto Wallin in Manchester. Despite sustaining a deep cut above his right eye in the fifth round, Chisora managed to twice knock Wallin down and dominate the majority of the fight.
Chisora started strong, landing body shots and a big right hand in the early rounds, capitalizing on Wallin’s lack of aggression. The referee paused the fight in the sixth round to check on Chisora’s eye cut, but he was deemed fit to continue. Chisora’s corner patched him up, and he continued to aggressively attack Wallin, eventually sending him to the canvas in the ninth round with a powerful right hand.
As the fight progressed, Chisora showed signs of fatigue, allowing Wallin to survive until the final bell. Despite another knockdown in the final round, Chisora secured the victory and is now eyeing a potential shot at the IBF heavyweight title against either Daniel Dubois or Joseph Parker. With his 50th fight likely to take place abroad, possibly in Saudi Arabia or an African country, Chisora’s victory over Wallin serves as a fitting farewell to British fans.
It was a testament to Chisora’s resilience and determination, overcoming adversity to secure a memorable win in what could be his last fight in his home country. Fans can expect to see Chisora continue to make waves in the heavyweight division as he looks to secure a title shot in the near future.
