Derek Chisora breaks down in tears on TV as he arrives for last-ever fight in the UK against Otto Wallin
DEREK CHISORA broke down in tears on TV after arriving for his last-ever fight in the UK.
The 41-year-old is taking on Otto Wallin in what will be his 49th career battle.
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.

Chisora’s imposing frame and cowboy hat immediately caught the eye as he entered the changing rooms backstage.
Yet despite his size, he showed a gentler side by bursting into tears while on live TV.
Chisora first leaned against a wall as he soaked in the occasion.
And he then retreated to the backrooms as his entourage watched on.
Fans were certainly sympathetic towards Chisora and the meaningful moment.
One said: “Stay strong champ.”
Another declared: “Let’s go Del Boy! One last win.”
One noted: “He’s had a fantastic career, ducked nobody, good luck Del Boy.”
Another added: “He’s a national treasure.”
