Deontay Wilder extended his career with a dramatic split-decision victory over Derek Chisora at The O2, securing his 45-4-1 record with 43 KOs. The win keeps the Bronze Bomber in contention for lucrative matchups despite questions about his current form. Wilder's performance suggests he still believes in his ability to compete at the highest level of heavyweight boxing.

Wilder's post-fight comments targeted Anthony Joshua, reigniting speculation about a long-awaited showdown between two of boxing's biggest punchers. The American claimed Joshua was 'scared' of facing him, while Joshua responded that Wilder wasn't ready. Their history dates back to when both held major titles simultaneously, but negotiations never materialized. Joshua's recent public appearance following a tragic car accident in Nigeria added emotional context to the potential matchup.

Beyond Joshua, Wilder expressed interest in facing Oleksandr Usyk and rising star Moses Itauma. Usyk, preparing to defend his WBC title against Rico Verhoeven, represents the ultimate challenge for Wilder's unification ambitions. Meanwhile, the 20-year-old Itauma's undefeated record and knockout power make him an intriguing but risky opponent. Wilder's confidence remains high as he eyes cleaning up the heavyweight division, though his recent performances against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang suggest significant challenges ahead.
