Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce And Derek Chisora Meet At The O2 In July

[BoxerWriter]

Two aging gunslingers facing off... maybe for the last time, at least for one of them. Wow! I know a lot of people are probably going to criticise this fight (and it will certainly not be the fastest paced affair), but personally, I can't wait to see these two old warhorses go at it. I have a feeling they've both got a big fight (or two) left in them. It's a better fight for Joe than it is for Derek at this stage of their careers. Chisora has bean an incredible servant to British heavyweight boxing but he has looked faded in his last few fights and you wouldn't want to see him hurt more than he's already been so I understand the calls for him to retire. However, that's his call and no one else's. People said Joyce should retire after the second Zhang defeat and it was a bad knockout, but I think overall he has a lot less miles on the clock and if he can drop some weight and come into the fight in the condition he did for Dubois or Parker then he could slowly break Derek like he did Parker. Chisora will go to war and throw bombs from the off though and if Joe's punch resistance has finally cracked (or he still has a few demons from the Zhang fight) then it could get very interesting. Either way though, for as long as it lasts, it could be great.

Well this is a guaranteed war. I don’t think Derek Chisora has enough left in the tank to fend off big Joe.

London heavyweights Joe Joyce and Derek Chisora will headline at The O2 on Saturday July 27 when the "Juggernaut" will be confronted by "War", live on TNT Sports. It is a domestic collision that appears to have been on the table for some time, with Joyce (16-2, 15 KOs), having been calling out the name of the veteran formerly known as Delboy since 2019.
