Joe Joyce vs. Derek Chisora: Main card, start time, main event walkouts, and more
The heavyweight action between Joe Joyce and Derek Chisora is set to light the O2 arena on fire on July 27 in Greenwich, London, England, headlining a card that features 12 fights, including four title fights.
In the main event, two British heavyweights clash, with Joyce (16-2, 15 KOs) looking to challenge Chisoro (34-13, 23 KOs) since 2019. Both veterans would be hoping to build on their recent victories, with 'Juggernaut' stopping Kash Ali in the final round of their fight in March and Chisora defeating Gerald Washington 11 months ago.
Derek Chisora's win over Washington came after a stoppage defeat to Tyson Fury in December 2022. The 'Gypsy King' defended his WBC title in commanding style against the now-40-year-old Chisora.
Meanwhile, the 38-year-old would be looking to get back to his winning ways as the Olympic silver medalist has suffered back-to-back defeats at the hands of 'Big Bang' Zhilei Zhang before getting back in the win column via knockout in Birmingham back in March.
In the co-main event, Moses Itauma (9-0, 7 KOs) will square off against Mariusz Wach (38-10, 20 KOs) for the WBO inter-continental heavyweight strap in what promises to be an intriguing matchup, as 'Enriko' Itauma is 25 years younger, boasting a 78% knockout percentage compared to 'The Viking's 53%.
Ryan Garner (15-0, 8 KOs) and Archie Sharpe (25-0, 9 KOs) will trade blows for 10 rounds for the prestigious WBS international super-featherweight title at 130 pounds (59 kg) on July 27 in London. 'The Piranha' is the less experienced fighter, with 10 fewer fights and a 3-inch reach disadvantage compared to the 'Sharpshooter'.
Another title fight on the undercard comes in the women's featherweight division at 126 pounds (57.1 kg). Raven Chapman (8-0, 2 KOs) will tangle hands against Yohana Sarabia (10-0, 6 KOs), who appears to be the favorite. 'Daniela Cruces' Sarabia steps into the ring with a 60% knockout percentage compared with 'The Omen's 25% and also being eight years younger than her opponent.
