Unified heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk commented on one of the most talked-about fights of the spring in the heavyweight division.

On April 4, a fight between former WBC titleholder American Deontay Wilder and the seasoned Briton Derek Chisora will take place at London's The O2 arena. This fight will be the fiftieth in each of their professional careers—a symbolic milestone that adds special drama to the event.

“Deontay Wilder vs Derek Chisora? Uhm... Derek Chisora will win,” Usyk said.

Usyk's prediction is particularly interesting in light of his personal experience: in October 2020, he confidently outpointed Chisora in a 12-round bout. Despite this, the current division leader sees qualities in Derek that could bring him victory in a fight against the American knockout artist.
