Joe Joyce plans to end veteran Derek Chisora’s long career on Saturday night at the O2 Arena in London.
Joyce (16-2, 15 KOs) is in a position where he must destroy the 40-year-old Chisora for him to receive any credit for the victory. Chisora (34-13, 23 KOs) is so shot at this late stage of his 17-year career that Joyce can’t just beat him. He’s got to totally obliterate him, leaving nothing but dust.
Joyce-Chisora will be shown live on ESPN+ and TNT Sports this Saturday, July 27th. If this is the end of Chisora’s career, many boxing fans will be glad because they’ve seen the deterioration.
‘The Juggernaut’ Joyce looks like he’s ready to be sent out to pasture as well, as he’s awful in three consecutive fights against Kash Ali and Zhilei Zhang.
“Styles make fights. Derek is a different type of style. He’s going to bring war and unpredictability. So you know what you’re going to get,” said Joe Joyce to TNT Sports Boxing about his fight this Saturday night against Derek Chisora at the O2 Arena in London.
“He’s had a great career, and I guess I should be ending it. I don’t want it to go the distance, and I don’t think he does, either. It’s ten rounds, it’s not twelve. I want to make a statement and go on further.
“I’m going into it like any other fight. It’s a big fight,” said Joyce. “It’s a fight that I never thought I’d have, and then when Adam [Moralee] said to me, ‘Derek Chisora.’ I was, ‘What? Alright then,’ and the fight is made.
“You’re going to have a big show at the O2, especially being London-born and bred. It’s great to be in London town.
“Joe doesn’t have a clue what’s going to happen. You think I’m joking,” said Chisora. “The only thing I get nervous about is if I don’t perform for the public. That’s my let down. It’s not a boxing fight.
“It’s a show. It’s how you arrive and how you walk in the ring and how you and how it’s set up. Everything has to be correct. Everything is a play,” said Chisora.
