Derek Chisora is 48 not out in fights as a professional.
The charismatic British heavyweight has developed a cult following over the past decade, and as his time in the ring edges closer to an end, he once again headlines his own show.
Otto Wallin is the man tasked with spoiling the party inside the Co-op Live Arena this Saturday night, with a tasty undercard setting up what is to be an explosive main event.
It’s a 9/1 shot of picks this weekend with – spoiler alert – Chisora’s 49th pro outing predicted to end in defeat, plus we've got the best boxing betting offers currently available from the top betting sites.
Weekend Boxing Betting Tips
Matt McHale to beat Brandon Daord
This British super-flyweight title fight is not to be missed on Saturday night, with Matt McHale and Brandon Daord going toe-to-toe in what is a real throwback contest.
Neither man has tasted defeat as a professional, and with 17 wins between them it seems like it’s a case of winner stays on in the super-flyweight division with bet365 struggling to split these two at 10/11 each.
In truth, it’s a coin toss, but there are two things that favour McHale in this contest.
As the home fighter, McHale will enjoy a raucous support in East Kilbride, and considering Daord hasn’t fought since December 2023, there is surely a chance for “Trouble” to make this inactivity count.
Nathan Heaney to beat Sofiane Khati by KO, TKO, Disqualification
Stoke’s favourite son Nathan Heaney – sorry Phil Taylor and Robbie Williams – is on the rebuild having failed to get over the line in his last two contests.
British middleweight champion Brad Pauls got the number of the “Hitman” across their two domestic scraps, winning one and drawing the other, leaving Heaney looking for a new path to walk.
Sofiane Khati has been plucked from relative obscurity and arrives in Manchester with five losses on his record having only fought in small halls in France and Germany.
He has been stopped twice, and in front of a puncher like Heaney, expect an early night for the travelling Frenchman.
Otto Wallin to beat Derek Chisora by Decision/Technical Decision
On paper, Otto Wallin is a nightmare opponent for Chisora and his team to have picked in this swansong appearance in Manchester.
The 6ft 6” Swedish southpaw only holds losses as a professional to former world champions Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, and with his tricky, rangy and awkward style, Chisora is going to have to get rough from the opening bell on Saturday night.
But it’s not like “Del Boy” can’t or won’t do that.
The 41-year-old has mixed it with pretty much every style you could wish to come across as a heavyweight, and with a chin as robust and a heart as big as his, you can bet he will attempt to walk the away fighter down for as many of the 36 minutes that his body will allow him.
Chisora is actually coming off one of the best results of his career so far in outpointing Joe Joyce last summer, but Wallin is a technically drilled heavyweight that won’t offer the same openings that the “Juggernaut” did inside London’s O2.
The crowd won’t like it, and neither will Chisora, but a points win for Wallin is where the value lies.
