Who will walk out with the ultimate bragging rights when Joy Joyce and Derek Chisora face off in an all-British affair in the O2 Arena? A win can help elevate both fighters in a crowded heavyweight division.
"This is a proper old-school heavyweight fight that seems to have been a long time in the making," Queensberry Promotions’ Frank Warren said via ESPN .
"Two top London heavies fighting it out for a place back at the top table promises to deliver a cracking scrap. The winner is right back in business, with no real place to go for the loser.”
Joyce (16-2) is a former British, Commonwealth, and European heavyweight champion. The 38-year-old won the interim WBO heavyweight title but lost it following two straight losses against Zhilei Zhang. He rebounded against Kash Ali in March.
Chisora (34-13) looks to return to title contention after losing against Tyson Fury in 2022 for the WBC heavyweight title, his third loss against Fury. “Del Boy” last fought a year ago, beating Gerald Washington. The 40-year-old is two years older than Joyce but believes his experience will play a factor in the fight.
"Joe is not going to win," Chisora said via BBC.com . "He can train as much as he wants, but when it comes to the real grind of it, I'm more vicious than him. I fear no man. There's no feeling each other out in the first round - I'm going in."
