Derek Chisora is set for the final outing of his career when he faces fellow veteran heavyweight Deontay Wilder at the O2 Arena on Saturday.
MF Pro promote Chisora vs Wilder and DAZN televise the card worldwide on pay-per-view.
Chisora (36-13, 23 KOs) has vowed to call time on his almost 20-year career, which has seen him challenge for world honours on two occasions.
The 42-year-old was beaten by Tyson Fury in their trilogy clash in 2022, but has bounced back with three straight victories over Gerald Washington, Joe Joyce and Otto Wallin in his last outing last February.
The Londoner heads in as the betting favourite against the former WBC heavyweight world champion.
During his heyday, Wilder (44-4-1, 43 KOs) was considered the most fearsome puncher in the division, however his stock has slumped considerably having won two of his last six bouts.
The Alabama man suffered successive defeats to Joseph Parker and Zhieli Zhang, before returning to winning ways with a seventh round stoppage of Tyrrell Herndon last June, marking his first victory in almost three years.
Prediction: If Wilder can roll back the years and still has his devastating power, he can definitely knock out Chisora, but his power seems to have diminished and Chisora can bow out with a stoppage win.

Riley-Masternak in European title clash
Viddal Riley steps closer to world level when he faces European cruiserweight champion, Mateusz Masternak.
Riley (13-0, 7 KOs) looked impressive last time out winning the British title with a unanimous decision victory over Cheavon Clarke last April.
Masternak (50-6, 33 KOs) fell short in his sole world title tilt, retiring after eight rounds against Chris Billam-Smith in 2023.
The experienced 38-year-old secured the belt he defends on Saturday with a seventh round knockout of Joel Djeko in his native Poland in October.
Prediction: Riley is improving in every fight and can become European champion with a decision win over Masternak, who should prove a tough and durable opponent.
Bentley battles Saavedra
Former world title challenger, Denzel Bentley stands on the brink of becoming world middleweight champion when he faces Endry Saavedra.
The pair clash for the WBO interim middleweight title with the winner on course for a shot at champion, Janibek Alimkhanuly.
Alimkanuly is currently serving a one-year suspension after a positive drugs test, but has been allowed to keep hold of his title.

Bentley (21-3-1, 17 KOs) ran the Kazakh champion close in a unanimous decision loss in 2022 and was last seen in December 2024 defeating Brad Pauls.
Saavedra (17-1-1, 14 KOs), a native of Venezuela, won the WBO International middleweight crown with an eight round stoppage of Mikkel Nielsen last April.
Prediction: Bentley can remain on course for a second world title shot with a hard-fought points win.
Remaining Undercard
Ashton Sylve (12-1, 10 KOs) remains on the comeback trail since a devastating knockout loss to Lucas Badhi and the 22-year-old can halt Raul Antonio Galaviz Hernandez (15-4-2, 9 KOs).
In an intriguing British heavyweight clash, Matty Harris (9-1, 6 KOs) should stop Franklin Ignatius (9-1-1, 1 KO).
Middleweight prospect, Amir Anderson (6-0, 6 KOs) can maintain his 100% knockout ratio by halting Jordan Dujon (10-6).

Chisora’s nephew, Jermaine Dhilwayo (8-0, 3 KOs) should secure a points win over Jake Morgan (7-2, 1 KO) in their super featherweight clash and Dan Toward (7-1, 5 KOs) may also need the distance to see off Misael Da Veiga (7-0, 2 KOs) at super welterweight.
Featherweight Tom Welland (9-1, 5 KOs) looks to bounce back from a tough stoppage defeat last time out and he should do so with a points success over Yahir Alexander Solorio Morales (6-22-5, 2 KOs).
Brazilian Olympian, Abner Teixeira (0-0) is set to make his professional debut against an opponent to be confirmed.
