Joe Joyce vs Derek Chisora Predictions
Nearly a year has passed since Derek Chisora's last bout, where he secured a unanimous decision victory over 41-year-old Gerald Washington in a ten-round contest.
Despite this win, Chisora has struggled recently, losing four of his last six fights. One of his victories, a controversial split decision against 40-year-old Kubrat Pulev, did little to bolster his standing.
In contrast, Joe Joyce boasts an almost impeccable record, marred only by two losses to the formidable contender Zhilei Zhang.
Joyce recently rebounded from these defeats by stopping Ali Kash in the final round of their March fight, regaining some momentum after losing his unbeaten professional record and his status as the WBO mandatory challenger.
While neither fighter's recent performances inspire overwhelming confidence, Joe Joyce appears to have more at stake and likely has more left in the tank than Chisora, whose best days seem to be behind him.
