In December 2025, former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder confirmed that he and former unified heavyweight championship Oleksandr Usyk are in negotiations to face off in Summer 2026.[3] However, on 21 January 2026, reports stated that Wilder was nearing a deal to face British boxer Derek Chisora in April in London as a tune-up-fight before facing Uysk.[4] The following day, reports stated that the bout is scheduled for 4 April at The O2 Arena, with Viddal Riley set to feature as the co-feature bout.[5] The event will mark as the inaugural event under Misfits Boxing‘s new sub division dubbed MF Pro, a professional boxing division promoted by KSI and Kalle & Nisse Sauerland.[6] Despite these reports, Frank Warren claimed that Chisora was still under contract with Queensberry Promotions.[7]
Riley was in negations to face Aloys Youmbi as his first British cruiserweight title defense.[8] However in January 2026, Riley stated that Youmbi had withdrawn from the negations.[9] Youmbi’s manager on Instagram Lee Eaton stated that Youmbi has “bigger plans ahead.”[10]
