The Deontay Wilder vs. Dereck Chisora fight has some decent appeal as a pure heavyweight matchup between aging veterans with punching power. However, the wild build that has come equipped with Wilder's most cringeworthy example of 'too much information' I've ever heard in my life, we have something even wackier at play. Here is a look at all the information you need for Saturday's polarizing clash.

The story of the fight should be Chisora's potential retirement fight. We should be talking about how this fight could tell us if Wilder has anything left in the tank. We should spend as little time as possible discussing Wilder's bizarre comments during fight week.
Chisora (36-13, 23 KOs) is 42 years old and has promised this will be his final bout. The O2 crowd in London will be firmly behind him. Wilder (44-4-1, 43 KOs) is 40, has gone 2-4 in his last six and turned down a direct shot at Usyk to take this fight first.
Who Wins Wilder vs. Chisora?
Based on what we've seen recently, I'd lean toward Chisora outworking him and avoiding the big right hand. He could get a stoppage near the seventh round. Chisora has won three straight fights but hasn't fought in 14 months.
Wilder has 43 KOs in 49 fights, an 88% knockout rate, and a five-inch height advantage with a nine-inch reach edge. Chisora admitted at the presser that he's nervous about getting knocked out in front of his home crowd. This is a fight that could end at any moment.
