Derek Chisora Signs Contract To Fight Deontay Wilder Under Misfits Pro Boxing
Derek Chisora has once again set the heavyweight boxing world talking after posting a video showing him signing a contract to fight Deontay Wilder. The clip, shared across social media, shows Chisora holding the signed paperwork while FaceTiming the former WBC heavyweight champion, immediately sparking debate about whether one of boxing’s most chaotic matchups is finally about to happen.
While official details such as a date, venue, and sanctioning status are yet to be confirmed, the biggest reveal is that the bout is set to be promoted by KSI’s Misfits Pro Boxing banner. That alone makes this one of the most unusual heavyweight matchups in recent memory, blending established elite-level boxing names with a promotional platform better known for crossover events and unconventional matchups.
Chisora, Wilder, And The Misfits Factor
Chisora has built a career on taking the toughest fights available, regardless of risk or timing. With multiple wars against the likes of Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte, Oleksandr Usyk, and Joseph Parker, he has never been shy about stepping into danger. At this stage of his career, a fight with Wilder represents both a massive payday and one last roll of the dice against one of the most dangerous punchers the division has ever seen.
For Wilder, this bout offers something very different from the traditional title route. After recent setbacks and long layoffs, Misfits Pro Boxing provides a high-visibility stage, massive social media reach, and an opponent who will walk forward and engage. That combination almost guarantees drama, regardless of the outcome.

Misfits promoting the fight adds another layer of intrigue. While the promotion has primarily focused on influencer and crossover bouts, it has gradually expanded into more “pro” matchups. A Chisora vs Wilder fight would be its most serious and high-profile boxing contest to date, signaling a clear intention to blur the lines between mainstream boxing and crossover promotion even further.
Stylistically, it is chaos waiting to happen. Chisora’s pressure, durability, and willingness to trade will give Wilder opportunities to land his trademark right hand, but it also means Wilder will have to withstand sustained pressure if he cannot end things early. It is a high-risk fight for both men, and that is exactly why it has captured so much attention already.
