Joe Joyce and Derek Chisora will fight in a highly exciting showdown in London. Chisora is coming in with more years in age and experience over 38-year-old Joe Joyce. He made sure to rub it in Joyce’s face at the media day.

Joe Joyce and Derek Chisora will face off in an all-British heavyweight showdown this July at the O2 Arena in London. The highly anticipated showdown will be broadcast on TNT Sports in the UK and ESPN+ in the US. They had an intense press conference, where Chisora constantly tried to belittle the 38-year-old boxer.

Chisora kept trying to grab the dominant position in the interaction, telling Joyce that he was not “about this life.” He said that he did not care if they were there for a fight as he was simply there for violence and carnage. Meanwhile, Joyce reminded the 40-year-old boxer of his incident with the delivery driver.
