Joe Joyce and Derek Chisora will meet in an all-British heavyweight clash in London tonight.
Each veteran is looking to build on a recent win, with Joyce having stopped Kash Ali in the final round of their fight in March, after Chisora outpointed Gerald Washington 11 months ago.
Joyce’s late stoppage of Ali saw the Olympic silver medalist bounce back from two straight defeats by Zhilei Zhang, who knocked out the 38-year-old in April and September last year.
Meanwhile, Chisora’s victory over Washington followed a stoppage loss to Tyson Fury in December 2022. On that winter night, the “Gypsy King” retained the WBC belt against the now 40-year-old Chisora.
