Joyce vs. Chisora is set to air live on Saturday, July 27, at 3:30 p.m. ET / 12:30 p.m. PT, exclusively on ESPN+ in the U.S. The highly anticipated event will take place at The O2 in London.
The main event features a 12-round heavyweight clash between former WBO Interim world champion Joe Joyce and two-time world title challenger Derek "War" Chisora. Joyce, a 2016 Rio Olympic silver medalist, has notable victories over former world champions Bermane Stiverne and Joseph Parker, as well as then-unbeaten prospect Daniel Dubois. Despite experiencing consecutive stoppage losses to Zhilei Zhang in 2023, Joyce rebounded in March with a 10th-round knockout over Kash Ali.
Chisora, a seasoned 17-year pro, has twice challenged for the WBC crown—first against Vitali Klitschko in February 2012 and later in his third bout with Tyson Fury in December 2022. Chisora is coming off a 10th-round stoppage win over former world title challenger Gerald Washington last August.
The ESPN+ stream will also feature two additional bouts. One of the highlights includes Britain's next heavyweight hopeful, Moses Itauma, who will face Polish former world title challenger Mariusz Wach. Itauma aims to continue his undefeated streak and make a significant impact on the heavyweight division.
