Friend and fellow heavyweight, Frazer Clarke, has picked Chisora to win, but many others are siding with Wallin read more...
The Brit is currently a 7/2 underdog at the bookies, with Wallin's IQ, long reach and sound footwork expected to win the fight for the Swedish southpaw.
But the fight is billed as 'The Last Dance', with the 48-fight veteran looking to hang up his gloves after fight 50. This Manchester match is expected to be his last appearance in a UK ring, therefore fans can expect 'WAR' Chisora to be as rough, ruthless and relentless as ever!
Editor's Pick: "Wallin has all the right tools - the reach, height, jab, quick feet - to win this fight against a style like Chisora's, but I don't think he will be able to keep his man away for the full 10-rounds scheduled.
"In his fight with Murat Gassiev, Wallin landed a record number of jabs - over 850 - so he is a technically brilliant fighter, with some decent names on his record, his only two defeats were to Fury and Joshua.
"However, Chisora turns all his bouts into a brawl, and he will land his big bombs in this fight, I have no doubt. Wallin looked nervous against AJ, who totally bullied him and made him quit. Chisora is one of the biggest bullies around, so, even though he's the underdog, I believe he will bully and break Wallin down to win on points."
