Chisora has declared he will call it a day after 50 fights.
His final showdown will take place abroad, with Dillian Whyte and Francis Ngannou both in his sights.
But tonight’s clash with Wallin will be Chisora’s last-ever UK tilt.
And with the match now an official IBF world heavyweight eliminator, the emotions became too much for him as he entered the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester.
