Joe Joyce and Derek Chisora will meet in the ring this July in an all-British encounter, as both men look to burnish their heavyweight records as they fast approach what is perhaps the twilight of their careers.
With their clash set to take centre stage at The O2 Arena in London, both men will be looking to record consecutive victories following respective wins over Kash Ali and Gerald Washington on their last outings.
However, following Joyce’s second loss to Zhilei Zhang last September, it seems that the joint prospects of both men when it comes to another world title challenge are now behind them, making this contest one more with just pride on the line for the pair.
With only two career defeats to his name, Joyce knows victory could theoretically put him back on the path towards a potential challenge. However, the former WBO interim heavyweight title holder would need an impressive performance here.
Chisora, meanwhile, who enjoyed WBC heavyweight title challenges a decade apart in 2012 and 2022, is even more unlikely to be offered a third shot but will nevertheless be keen to impress on another big date under the bright lights.
It’s shaping up to be an entertaining night of boxing action, but how can you ensure you don’t miss a moment? GOAL brings you all the details on Joe Joyce against Derek Chisora below.
