    Bad idea, Del Boy probably stops him, too much, waaaay too soon.

    Depends which Del shows up TBH. If Joe keeps his mouth shut and plays nice in the build up then he prob wins against the uninterested Chisora we saw take boring L's like in his last outing or when he fought Pulev. If he comes in like he did for Haye, Vitali or Whyte however then he's a handful for anyone.

    Ftfy. Life and death against Whyte showed the writing was on the wall, imho.

    If we were in 2015 then I'd be seriously worried for Joyce, it still seems like a pretty big step up - but I think Joyce could be timing this perfectly. Best of luck to him

    I'd be happy to see it. It'd be a bold move and considering his age a gamble worth taking IMO.

    Joyce lacks the power to stop him but should out box him.

    I saw Usyk easily outbox Joyce, Usyk out classed him, yet Joyce is 6 feet 6 inches tall and was much heavier!

    I'm a big fan of Delboy but at this stage of his career he's not even bothering to get into shape. Joyce will likely out work him to earn a decision. But I do think it will be competitive, Chisora lost his last 2 fights by narrow decisions so it will be hard for Joyce to impress against a still game Chisora.

    I'll be surprised if it happens as you really want opponents to make Joyce look good at this stage to build hype. But then again if he can beat Chisora more convincingly than Whyte it could build a possible fight with Whyte later down the road.

    Haye has said joyce will be fast tracked as his age means he's got catching up to do, wouldn't be suprised of this happens, all depends on the motivation levels of Derek, I think Joyce is tough enough to grind a points win

    Can't see a british journeyman getting a decision against a british "prospect". Joyce by decision, possibly a robbery.
