Round-by-Round: Deontay Wilder vs. Derek Chisora - 4 April 2026

[SportsRatings]

Wilder has some wrapping on his right hand now. not surprised he damaged it the amount of times he hit Chisora

Kind of surprised by his chin though. Amazed, in fact. Where did that come from after his losses to Parker and Zhang?

He took some heavy shots in the Parker fight too.

Yeah but didn't he look shaky after the first few of those? I recall him looking like he was going to lose very early. Or maybe it was just that he didn't throw a single punch

Zhang could knock an elephant over. Wilder's been saying he was injured going into those fights so maybe he was telling the truth. I don't think he has the punching power he used to have

[Ruthless-RKO]

So, between rounds 5 and 6 Wilder's corner said something about Chisora keeps falling down because of his bad hips? And to take angles backing up to exploit that? Did i hear that right?

He should have used his jab more and there was times he could have thrown that right hand.

But he said he saw Chisora’s face and felt sorry for him. FFS haha

Ok, reviewed my scoring from that fight and Parker did connect a lot with big shots, and Wilder never went down. Guess all the Fury fights and Zhang fight got mixed in there in my mind.

The referee Mark Bates was a disgrace today.

- Deducted a point from Wilder for NOTHING, after he had scored a knockdown and Chisora was hurt
- When Chisora was hurt and turned away in the corner, he stopped the fight without giving a standing count
- Otherwise was trying to protect Chisora whenever Wilder landed a good punch or two

Shows how hard Zhang punches

[Coco]

Boxrec is saying Chisora down in rounds 8 and 11 that's not true right? There was no rd. 11 knockdown officially

Otherwise the cards are really suspect, I think Chisora might have won round 11 by the judges, or at least it was close since it was such of screwball round. (the two knockdowns with audible counts that were waved off)

I've got no idea how many counts were given, the ref was never clear, I'm sure once he started counting but changed his mind

I think he did. There was a moment there where he had Chisora in the corner ready to go and Wilder just kind of had a look at him. I thought then that he felt pity for him and let him off the hook. A crazy thing to do in the moment because they would’ve taken any chance to give Del the win and he should’ve just banged him out but then Wilder is as mad as a box of frogs, isn’t he?

In rd2 when Chisora cornerman came into the ring. That is usually a DQ as well. Ref barely had control as well.

Yeah the round three pause was crazy, he should have either backed off immediately and said, fight, or stepped in immediately, instead he stood close to Chisora but didn't pause it until Wilder jumped in, then he did a full restart with no count.

There was a time in round 6 where Wilder was trying to tee off on Chisora against the ropes, and the ref stopped it and separated them. I didn't get that one either. And that's on top of all of Chisora's pratfalls throughout the fight.

I missed that, was that right near the end?

Yh the were nearly over the ropes and the bell had rang. Ref tried to seperate them the Chisora’s second runs across the ring.

He said "I love you man" and waited before throwing a few non-punches? And I think Chisora was trying to lure him in for the overhand like he kept doing as his main strategy once he got exhausted.

yeah i was waiting for the ref to start a count on Chisora after he pushed Wilder off him, kinda like when the ref saved Fury against Usyk. very suspect both times

Wilder has a chin. He doesnt have any defence. He can take a punch but anyone with a bit of ability (at that level) can land several.

[Ruthless-RKO]

They done Wilder dirty here

[Ruthless-RKO]

Deontay Wilder's victory over Derek Chisora is his first decision win in a LONG time

The last time 'The Bronze Bomber' won by decision:

Tom Brady was still QB1 for the New England Patriots
Victor Wembanyama was still in elementary school
Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Manny Pacquiao 1 hadn’t happened yet
Game of Thrones was the biggest show in the world
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare was the top-selling game in the U.S.

[gilgamesh]

He only has 2 decision victories at all I believe, and today's was the 2nd one.

[DrDuke]

Wilder has done a good job. If I expected him to win, than by a KO. He was able to take Chisora's onslaught well and to score more. I think, there was not a single clean knockdown and a point deduction was too much, but giving Chisora a count was always fair, because Chisora was tired fast and often tried to escape damage with falling down.

This actually blew my mind.

The fight was entertaining, but everyone was against Wilder that night. It didn’t help that all the officials were British either.

I hope that instead of a random build-up fight like Whyte 2, they make AJ vs. Wilder happen now. It feels like AJ is at least one level above Wilder at this point, so it still kind of works as a build-up fight. The fight will never be as big as it was when they were undefeated, but after this win, it should still be big in the UK. They have the perfect opportunity now after messing it up in 2023.

Yeah, Wilder-Joshua still makes sense, they should finally fight.

[golden_labrador]

I'm not sure AJ wants any of that. Hearn probably thought Wilder was more cooked than he actually is.
