Derek Chisora tipped the scales at a career-heaviest 266.7lbs for Saturday's heavyweight clash with Deontay Wilder at The O2 in London. The 40-year-old entered the ring wearing a Tyson Fury mask in a bid to antagonize Wilder, who weighed in at 226.4lbs for his 50th professional bout.

Chisora, sporting a 36-13 record with 23 KOs, is preparing for what he claims will be his final fight before retirement. The British heavyweight has suffered setback defeats to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang in recent years, making this bout crucial for his legacy. Wilder, the former WBC heavyweight world champion, returns to action for the first time since his June 2024 stoppage win over Tyrrell Anthony Herndon.

Wilder took the mask stunt in stride, calling it "hilarious" and insisting he's "healed" and ready for action. The American also addressed concerns about glove issues, admitting he's had problems with tightness due to previous hand injuries. With both fighters claiming to be injury-free and in peak condition, this 50th fight for each man promises fireworks as Wilder aims to be the one to finally retire Chisora.
