Deontay Wilder is reportedly on the cusp of finalizing a deal for a highly anticipated April showdown against Derek Chisora. The American former world heavyweight champion has been in talks with Chisora, who is gearing up for his 50th professional bout. According to Wilder's co-manager, Shelly Finkel, negotiations are at an advanced stage. This potential bout has been a topic of speculation, especially after Wilder and Chisora engaged in a fiery face-off at the IBA Pro 13 event in Dubai last month. Wilder's recent performance includes a knockout win over Tyrrell Anthony Herndon, while Chisora has been on a winning streak with four victories in his last five fights, including notable wins over Joe Joyce and Kubrat Pulev. However, the 42-year-old Chisora has not fought since February, and there's been talk of his potential retirement after his next fight. The fight against Wilder could be a significant step in Chisora's career, but it remains to be seen if the negotiations will bear fruit.
