Joe Joyce
Derek Chisora
This coming Saturday, a match between Joe Joyce and Derek Chisora will take place at the O2 Arena in London. Here is a prediction for the bout from the experts at Dailysports.
Joe Joyce
Starting his career in 2017, Joyce quickly established himself as a formidable opponent, earning the nickname "Juggernaut" for his relentless forward pressure and destructive punching power. Before turning professional, Joyce achieved significant success in amateur boxing.
He won a silver medal at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, losing only to Frenchman Tony Yoka in the final. Additionally, he became a European champion and secured a bronze medal at the World Championships. Since turning professional, one of the most notable moments in his career was his convincing victory over former world champion Joseph Parker.
Equally important was his bout against Daniel Dubois, who was considered one of the most promising young boxers. Joyce won this fight, handing Dubois his first career loss and capturing the EBU European title. Recently, in 2023, Joyce was the WBO champion but lost his belt to Zhilei Zhang by knockout and was again knocked out in their rematch. In his last bout, Joyce secured a TKO victory over Kash Ali.
Derek Chisora
Chisora began his professional career in 2007 and by 2010 had claimed the British heavyweight title by defeating Danny Williams. One of the most significant moments in Chisora's career was his fight against Vitali Klitschko in 2012 for the WBC world title. Chisora went the full 12 rounds but lost on points.
Chisora is also known for his thrilling bouts against David Haye, Tyson Fury, and Dillian Whyte. The fight against Haye in 2012 ended in defeat but was one of the most anticipated events of the year. Chisora faced Tyson Fury twice, losing both times.
His encounters with Dillian Whyte, especially their second fight in 2018, were memorable for their intensity and entertainment value. Another landmark moment in Chisora's career was his 2020 bout against Oleksandr Usyk, who was moving up to heavyweight. Chisora put up a strong fight but ultimately lost by unanimous decision. In his most recent fight, Chisora won a points decision over Gerald Washington.
