Chisora locked horns against Otto Wallin in a heavyweight clash on Feb. 8. The event was held at the Co-op Live in Manchester, England. The bout turned out to be a highly entertaining affair. Chisora suffered a brutal cut above his eye in the fight and was bleeding profusely.

'Del Boy' landed a heavy right hand in the ninth round which led to Wallin dropping to the ground.

In the 12th round, Chisora managed to score another impressive knockdown.

Despite the two knockdowns, the fight went the 12-round distance. In the end, Chisora was declared the winner via unanimous decision. The three judges scored the bout 117-109, 114-112 and 116-110 in 'Del Boy's' favor.

After the fight, Chisora brought out pictures of Daniel Dubois, Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua to ask the audience who he should be up against for his 50th professional bout.

The crowd cheered at the mention of Joshua and Usyk but booed Dubois.

The 41-year-old later did an interview inside the ring where he named Usyk as the top pick for his next fight.

"I'm going to call out Oleksandr and see if we can do it."
