Joe Joyce is confident he beat Chisora in a close fight

British heavyweight Joe Joyce commented on his defeat to his compatriot Dereck Chisora.

"I'm disappointed. I thought I beat him in a close fight, I should have put a bit more effort in to finish him, but he hit me with a good punch at that point. It was a flash knockdown.

Derek is a tough man. The fight was good, enjoyed it. I'm sure I'll be back again," Joyce said.

In London, England, tonight was boxing night, the main event of which was the fight between British super heavyweight boxers Dereck Chisora and Joe Joyce.

The fight itself turned out to be quite hard. It was felt that the athletes were not in their ideal form: both of them did not always manage to invest in punches and did not always manage to block the opponent's attacks. Sometimes it seemed that the next punch could be the last one for one of the boxers, but they continued to keep the balance.

Derek Chisora won the fight by unanimous decision. It seems that the main argument for the judges was the power and accuracy of punches: Joyce hit more, and Chisora was stronger and more accurate.
