How would Deontay Wilder do against Oleksandr Usyk in the event that they fight in 2026?<\/h3>\n

The 40-year-old former heavyweight world champion has looked well past his peak in recent fights.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

The pair are close friends and have had to attract on outlandish stories, rivalries with other fighters and Chisora\u2019s unique sense of \u2018humor\u2019 to sell the event. And it was no different today because the Brit donned a mask of Tyson Fury in an effort to get into his opponent\u2019s head.<\/p>\n

Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder share outlandish and lengthy final face-off<\/h2>\n

After Derek Chisora\u2019s bizarre stunt where he arrived to yesterday\u2019s press conference in a tank with right wing politician Nigel Farage, the stakes were upped again today at York Hall. Misfits Boxing, staging their first big MF Pro pay-per-view arrange a walkway for the weigh-in \u2018Cauldron\u2019.<\/p>\n

Chisora hit the scales first and got here in only over 266lb after a lengthy walkout that left no expense spared and wouldn\u2019t have been misplaced as a hoop walk. He was followed by Deontay Wilder, who despite being the much taller man was a whopping 40lb lighter at 226lb.<\/p>\n

The pair then headed down the walkway to the \u2018Cauldron\u2019, where Chisora donned a Tyson Fury mask. Wilder is understood to handle references to his two knockout losses to Fury poorly and Chisora didn\u2019t leave anything to fans\u2019 interpretation as he explicitly stated he was engaging in \u2018mind games\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do know he\u2019s got PTSD from Fury,\u201d Chisora joked \u2013 despite also having two knockout defeats and a one-sided unanimous decision loss by the hands of the Manchester native.<\/p>\n

There was then an incredibly lengthy interview segment where the pair were asked directly in regards to the seemingly still contentious issue with their gloves. Wilder infamously claimed that Fury had tampered together with his gloves of their second bout, so there may be rightful sensitivity across the topic.<\/p>\n

They were interviewed for near ten minutes before eventually being allowed to face off. Chisora wore his trademark hat and Union Jack face-mask, while Wilder wore a hat and sunglasses contained in the London venue.<\/p>\n
