A proper heavyweight boxing match that isn't an exhibition or doesn't involve a YouTuber or influencer of some description? Now then...

British icon Derek Chisora takes on America's own icon Deontay Wilder as both boxers take to the ring for their 50th professional bout.

Chisora has a record of 36 wins (23 by knockout) and 13 losses with Wilder's record standing at 44 wins (43 by knockout), one draw and four losses, including a dominant run as WBC champion.

Those four losses have all come in Wilder's last six fights though, including two defeats to rival Tyson Fury by knockout.

42-year-old Chisora has said this will be his last ever fight whereas 40-year-old Wilder plans to continue - but could a fifth loss in seven change his mind?

Here's everything you need to know.
