On what will be another light week in the boxing schedule, there will be a heavyweight battle at the O2 Arena in London, UK, live on ESPN+. Former interim WBO heavyweight champion Joe Joyce (16-2, 15 KOs) will face the grizzly veteran Derek Chisora (34-13, 23 KOs) in a scheduled 12-round fight.
After a tenth-round knockout over Kash Ali in March, Joyce wants to add to his momentum. While 2023 did not treat him well, and he was stopped twice by Zhilei Zhang, this year, Joyce is rebuilding and wants that to lead to another big fight down the road. Before getting there, he must get by Chisora, who is well past his prime but tends to give fighters a hard time.
Chisora has been inactive and hasn’t fought in 11 months. His last fight was a unanimous decision over Gerald Washington in August. Chisora is now 40, and his only shot at another big fight is to stop Joyce. Can he do it, or will we be watching his final fight in the ring?
