Derek Chisora fights for possibly the final time on Saturday night as he takes on Otto Wallin in Manchester in a showdown billed as The Last Dance.
It will be Chisora’s 49th professional outing and he had stated he wanted to reach 50, but in the build-up to the weekend he has suggested this may be the last time we see him in the ring.
In any case, it will be his last UK outing so expect an electric atmosphere at the Co-op Live as one of British boxing’s biggest names appears for the last time on home soil.

Derek Chisora vs Otto Wallin prediction and fight preview
Chisora comes into the fight as the underdog and at a big price he looks great value to sign off with a win, if this is indeed his swansong.
Del Boy was the underdog last time out against domestic rival Joe Joyce but his will and sheer determination to get the job done helped him record a points win in a bruising affair.
A similar performance against Wallin should be enough for the victory, but there are other reasons to feel Chisora can pick up a 37th career win.
The 41-year-old has 13 losses on his record but all of those defeats have come at the hands of elite fighters – with nine of them in bouts with either current, former or future heavyweight world champions.
Wallin just doesn’t have the same kind of names on his CV aside from defeats to Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, during periods when both were embarking on comeback bids, and a win over Chisora would rank among the biggest of his career.
Chisora has a high-pressure style and nobody has ever had an easy night when sharing a ring with ‘War’, and if he can bring the kind of intensity he showed against Joyce it could be a very tough 12 rounds for Wallin.
The Swedish southpaw doesn’t have the kind of power or accuracy that can keep Chisora at bay, and he doesn’t have the kind of defensive skills that will allow him to box at range either. Chisora always gives his all and even in these final stages of his career that should be enough to pick up a victory this weekend.
