Joe Joyce v Derek Chisora Odds: Chisora 18/1 to land knockout blow

Derek 'War' Chisora returns to the ring this evening when he facies compatriot Joe Joyce in an eagerly anticipated heavyweight dust up at the O2 Arena in London.

Veteran brawler Chisora continues to defy expectations of retirement as he gears up for his 48th professional fight at the age of 40.

'Del Boy' has lost five of his last ten fights but managed to claim a unanimous points victory over fellow journeyman Gerald Washington last time out.

'Juggernaut' Joyce is aiming to thrust himself back into title contention as he continues his comeback from two devastating knockout losses against China's Zhilei Zhang.

(Odds will display when markets are available)

Chisora hasn't knocked out an opponent since stopping fellow Brit David Price back in 2019, however the 40-year-old has genuine power as evidenced by his 23 knockout victories.

Despite his pedigree 'War' hasn't fared well against younger opponents in recent years, he has suffered a knockout defeat against Tyson Fury as well as points losses against Oleksandr Usyk and Joseph Parker twice.

Joyce had looked to be on the way to the top of the boxing heavyweight division this time last year, after he bulldozed his way through seasoned opponents and appeared to possess an iron chin.

Back-to-back knockout losses against 'Big Bang' Zhilei Zhang, including a ferocious one punch stoppage in the second fight, have derailed the Juggernaut's charge and forced him to reboot his career at the age of 38.

Joyce stopped journeyman Kash Ali in a somewhat unconvincing display last time out and will know a victory against Chisora opens up several potential avenues in the division, whereas a loss would likely signal the end of his boxing career.

Odds were correct at the time of writing and are subject to fluctuation.
