Massive boxing action in the heavyweight division will take place at the end of July at the O2 Arena, as Joe Joyce looks to continue his route back to the top of the sport when he collides against Derek Chisora.

Before Betting On Joe Joyce vs Derek Chisora

A thrilling year of heavyweight action continues on the boxing schedule in late July, as the experienced Derek Chisora will come up against Joe Joyce. There will be massive pressure on Joyce, as he has quickly fallen out of contention for a world title shot after losing on both appearances in the ring in 2023. Both defeats were suffered via stoppage against Zhilei Zhang, with the latest of those coming in the third round at Wembley Arena in September.

However, he has since managed to get back to winning ways after securing a much-needed success against Kash Ali in March. That success was scored via KO, but this represents a step back up in class against an experienced rival.

Derek Chisora is one of the most experienced fighters in the heavyweight division, as he will be competing as a professional for the 48th time in London. Chisora has won 34 of his professional bouts, with 23 of those victories coming by knockout. However, he has also suffered defeats on 13 occasions, with four of those losses coming by knockout.

Chisora has typically come up short when up against the best fighters in the division, which is evidenced by the fact that he has suffered losses against Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, and Joseph Parker since the start of 2019. He should give another solid account of himself when he comes up against Joyce in London.
