WIth both fighters at the tail end of their professional career, fans can be right sure of an interesting matchup.Joe Joyce and Derek Chisora are both coming from an important win and will be looking to build on that at The O2, Greenwich, London.

In 2016, Joyce won the silver medal at the Rio Olympics, losing to Tony Yoka. He beat Davilson Morais via KO/TKO, Bakhodir Jalolov, and Ivan Dychko via unanimous decision to get to the final spot. After that Olympic Journey, Joyce began her professional fight in 2017 and went on a fifteen (15) straight unbeaten wins. This lasted until the early part of 2023, with five significant title wins. He won the Commonwealth Heavyweight Title in 2018 against Lenroy Thomas, British, Commonwealth, European Heavyweight Title in 2020 against Daniel Dubois, Commonwealth, WBO International, WBC Silver Heavyweight Title against Carlos Takam, WBC Silver, WBO International Heavyweight Title against Christian Hammer, and interim WBO World Heavyweight Title in 2022 via a left hook against Joseph Parker. The unbeaten run was ended by Zhilei Zhang, who won the Interim WBO World Heavyweight Title against Joe Joyce twice. Joyce got his redemption against Kash Ali in 2024, which ended in a victory in round ten.

Derek Chisora's last fight was against Gerald Washington in August 2023, which ended in a victory via unanimous decision. Prior to this big win, he challenged for the WBC World Heavyweight Title and lost in the tenth round via TKO/KO. The 40-year-old boasts a professional career of 34 wins and 13 losses. Unfortunately, all his losses were title ones. Derek has lost against top athletes like Oleksandr Usyk, Joseph Parker (twice), and Tyson Fury (thrice). He lost both the HS Heavyweight Championship (2011), WBO International Heavy Title, EBU European Heavy Title,. British Heavy Title (2014), and WBC World Heavyweight Title (2022) to Tyson Fury. He also won the WBA/WBO International Heavyweight Title against Kevin Johnson, the WBA International Heavyweight Title against Carlos Takam, and the WBO Intercontinental Heavyweight Title against David Price.

Derek Chisora has always had it tough with top boxers. In this, his only advantage is his years of experience, in which he will be looking to implore Joyce. On the other hand, Joyce is 2 years younger and with height and reach advantage. He has only lost twice in his entire career. I believe this bout will go the distance but will be cut short with the power jab of Joe Joyce. So I am giving Joe Joyce the win via a knockout.
