“Derek Chisora and Otto Wallin’s matchmake”, – WRITE: Sport.ua
The International Boxing Federation (IBF) has made a rather unexpected decision and increased this fight in status – now boxers will fight for the second place in the ranking, which gives a chance to reach the contender fight for the title of champion.
The problem is that Chisora was going to end his career in 2025, but now he can change his plans because of the opportunity to fight for the title in the near future.
Interestingly, in 2023, Wallin suffered early defeat from another British – Anthony Joshua (RTD 5), then overcame the little -known Nigerian boxer of the Onnoioid Ehvariemi (KO 1).
In 2020, Chisora crossed the ring with Ukrainian Alexander Usik – gave a competitive battle, but gave way to a unanimous judicial decision.
Earlier, promoter Alexander Krasyuk reported the name of the opponent, who will not meet the champion in the high weight.
