What's the deal with Deontay Wilder-Derek Chisora? The Fighter and the Writer discuss heavyweight clash

Deontay Wilder and Derek Chisora's anticipated heavyweight bout appears to have caught plenty of the boxing world off-guard this past week.

Though linked to a bout before in 2025, both men seemingly had other targets in sight, in world champions Oleksandr Usyk and Fabio Wardley.

Now, as the two veterans reportedly close in on an April bout, the question remains: just what is in it for both stars rather than a major title shot?

In the latest episode of The Fighter and the Writer, Sergio Mora and Chris Mannix discuss this impending clash and what it means for the division.
