The event will be a 50th professional fight for both 42-year-old Chisora and American Wilder, 40.
Chisora 36-13 (23) suggested last year, that his retirement would proceed his 50th bout which would take place overseas, however circumstances have arisen for the Finchley man to face Wilder on home soil.
The pair were due to fight 13 years ago but Wilder withdrew from the bout after an arrest for domestic violence prevented him from travelling to the UK.
Chisora is on a three-fight winning streak, including points victories over Joe Joyce and Otto Wallin.
Wilder held the WBC heavyweight title from 2015 to 2020, winning his first 40 fights, and was once considered the division's most feared puncher.
Wilder shared three epic fights with Tyson Fury including a 2018 draw followed by two conclusive defeats to Fury in 2020 and 2021.
Wilder returned from a years inactivity, following a traumatic knockout loss to Zhang along with personal issues in June 2025, scoring a seventh-round stoppage of little-known Tyrrell Anthony Herndon. Wilder v Chisora will likely feature as a PPV event and will be the Americans first fight in the Uk since his one round blitz of Audley Harrison in 2013.
