Derek Chisora vs Joe Joyce is set to headline the O2 Arena in London on July 27

Both fighters have been/are on my top 5 heavyweight like radar.

I said a good few fights ago that I wish Derek would call it a day. My sentiment is still the same.

However, Derek being Derek is as stubborn a mule as you're EVER going to find and he'll do exactly as Derek wants. So with that on mind I'll definitely be watching it.

I think it'll be a very entertaining fight for as long as it lasts. As I like both blokes equally I'm absolutely on the fence rooting and prediction- wise.

Let the best man win.

 

Why? Chisora is shot to pieces.

 

Chisora just don’t give a ****. I see him losing on points tbh.

I’m 2mins into the presser and Joyce has already cringed me out.

 

Funny how life write scenario.
There was time (long time ago) that David Haye manager of Joe Joyce want that fight but Dereck was very opposite. He even warn Haye that if he will not ask him about Joe fight he will be on trouble. Serious personal trouble.

Later Haye (I have no idea why) leave Joyce and became Dereck Chisora manager...

Now they are in totally different place but still I favor Joe Joyce to TKO Chisora who dont look healthy last time in social media. He lost too many health in all this Batlle and probably he like drink 1,2 or 8 beers per day.

I wonder what is Joyce idea on his career after his lost to Zhang.
Dereck fight seems not worst idea.

 

I think Zhang cracked Joyce. My boy looked quite doo-doo vs Ali. So I voted Chisora via KO as I expect this to be a brutal war of attrition.
However, if Joyce has recovered and still has the fight in him... well, it´s going to be a one sided beating.

 

Chisora REALLY should not be taking this fight.

I've just heard about it and my immediate reaction was concern.

I think he's been a very good fight co-commentator whenever I've heard him and this could be his next career.

He should pursue that rather than risking a serious beating.

 

Pointless fight for me.

Chisora should hang them up - he's not getting an other title shot.

Joyce should fight some one relevant if he want to be a contender.

If they're both fine with this level and just want to put on a good fight for the fans - fine! But this should be in the British forum.

 

I could see it on na undercard as a stay active fight for Joyce. But headlining with Chisora and Zhang's left overs on one of the(?) biggest arena in the UK?

 

An absolutely one sided fight. Joyce ends him inside 7.

 

Got a feeling this one might go to points, but with a ton of CTE for Chizzers and a slightly smaller dose for Joyce. Both men are slow and plodding as all get out, and Joyce will be winging big arm punches over the head of a bobbing and weaving Chisora but catching him enough of the time to win rounds, while Chisora throws the odd OH right that connects flush or springing up out of the crouch with a hook till he begins to slow down due to fatigue and damage and Joyce starts to become more dominant, but still not punching hard enough to get Chisora out of there.

Whatever happens it's going to be an awful watch. These guys are not going to put on a good show, not at this stage.

If odds are good it's worth jumping on. Chisora is old and shot but Joyce looked terrible against Ali, is damaged goods himself and is damaged goods courtesy of Zhang and is no spring chicken either

 

Is Chisora homeless again after losing a bet? Maybe that's why he's taking this fight, he really needs the money.
