Derek Chisora to fight rival who left Tyson Fury a bloody mess after Jarrell Miller clash called off at last-minute

He shows no sign of slowing down despite the fact he will turn 41 next month, with his next opponent a tricky customer too.

Wallin, 34, has won seven of his last eight fights with his only defeat coming against Anthony Joshua.

His last fight came just a day before Chisora’s clash with Joyce, and he has now answered the call to face Del Boy.

Chisora and Miller were set to headline a February 8 event in Manchester hosted by Frank Warren.

But a contractual dispute has led Miller to withdraw from the contest before anything was signed.

Wallin will instead contest the fight with Chisora to become the third British opponent for the 27-2 boxer.

His first was Tyson Fury in 2019, with Wallin coming close to landing the first defeat of the Gypsy King’s career.

Wallin produced a cut above Fury’s right eye, leaving him bloodied and hanging on.
