OFFICIALLY. Legendary British heavyweight will return to the ring against his compatriot

Experienced British heavyweight Derek Chisora will next fight against his compatriot Joe Joyce.

According to journalist Michael Benson, the British veterans will step into the ring on 27 July at the O2 Arena in London.

Chisora, 40, had his last fight in August when he defeated Gerald Washington. For the boxing veteran, this will be the 48th fight of his professional career.

Joyce, 38, lost twice to Zhang Zhilei last year, but Joe returned to the ring in March this year with a win over Kash Ali.

Recall, on 18 May, Oleksandr Usyk defeated the Briton by split decision of judges and became the owner of the WBC, WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight belts. The Ukrainian became the first absolute heavyweight champion in 25 years.
