I had my final bout against Chisora - Here is my prediction for his fight against Wilder
Chisora vs. Wilder: Exclusively on DAZN - April 4
David Price’s last fight came against Derek Chisora in 2019, but seven years later, comfortable in retirement, the Liverpool man is offering his verdict on his former rival.
Chisora turned professional two years before Price, and he is still going strong long after the 2008 Olympic star called it a day.
Each man is participating in their 50th fight and there has been some talk that both could call it a day regardless of the result this coming Saturday.
Chisora enters the contest in excellent form after picking up three successive wins following a third loss to Tyson Fury in 2022 when he was outclassed by the then world champion.

Chisora’s rebuild since that setback has saw him collect wins against the likes of Joe Joyce and Otto Wallin, but Wilder will represent a step up from his previous opposition.
The heavy-handed American was once seen as one of the most feared in the sport but two crushing losses to Fury saw him endure a downturn in form that brought further defeats against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang.
Price, a shrewd analyst when it comes to the heavyweight division has had his say on Chisora’s upcoming task against Wilder.
“He’s facing probably still one of the most dangerous punchers on the planet in what could be his last fight. Common sense would say take a softer touch to go out on, but that’s Derek Chisora all over,” said Price when speaking to FightLens/Sportscasting .
“He obviously wants the money that comes with the Wilder fight, and he’ll be getting paid what he deserves and going out with a bang. I think Wilder, as good as he’s been, has lost that aura now. I think Derek can win the fight late on — just outwork him, outlast him.”
