The two both will be on fight 50 as professional boxers.
When they step in there soon — a combined 100 professional boxing matches between them.
Despite some saying Wilder can’t box, which he can of course, he had an amateur background as well that saw him receive medals for team USA.
Both have been around for a bit in professional boxing but Wilder is the one who had the long break from the sport getting some physical rehab on old injuries before coming back.
Sometimes a rest like that or time away from boxing is great. Ring rust is real but Wilder will have gotten rid of most of that by now with last summer’s last low key comeback stoppage win.
Chisora has been active in recent years and sometimes impressive but sometimes not as well.
When they step in there Chisora has vowed it will be the last time for him as a pro boxer.
Wilder however has said he will fight on and is actually in his prime as a fighter now later in life.
All he needs is just one big hit with the right hand or even the left hand and that is it for Chisora as they say.
When you look at the styles of how both box as well, it is Chisora’s come forward maybe sometimes overly aggressive style that is surely tailor made for Wilder.
That is tailor made for the counter punching style of Wilder who if you look at all the knockouts he’s had, he usually tries to walk people onto his shots.
Not always but more than often he does.
He can trade in there as well with the wild bombs but his comeback win last year he was throwing punches straight over the shoulder more and interestingly used the jab a lot.
It was a very cautious and measured approach on a turmoil-filled-fight-week where he had a last minute change of trainer.
That won’t be the case this time soon enough.
Time will tell if Wilder sends Chisora into boxing retirement a happy fighter or one in oblivion via devastating knockout defeat.
After that, some think Wilder vs Usyk is not dead either if Wilder knocks out Chisora brutally.
