00:00then fighting tonight out of the blue corner he comes to the ring wearing a black trunks
00:05and weighed in officially at 18 stone four pounds hailing from finchley london england
00:15he has a professional record of 34 wins 13 defeats with 23 of his 34 wins coming by way of knockout
00:27ladies and gentlemen please welcome the former two-time world title challenger
00:36war
00:57gents we've already been through the final instructions in the dressing room and you
01:00know what i expect a clean fight remember to obey my commands at all times above all
01:04protect yourselves at all times touch gloves touch gloves thank you here we go then nothing
01:10quite like a domestic clash to get the juices flowing over the last 50 years been plenty
01:16bodella mackalindon joe bugner henry cooper lewis mason lewis bruno h is or joshua
01:25and this should be no different as that is or put it joe doesn't go back i don't go back either
01:33and there were some who have been questioning what he's doing in a ring anyway but his message
01:39was simple here i listen to no one i'm my own boss i make my own decisions and i do what i want
01:47and he's here because he wants to be here and he's here because the supporters want to see him here
01:53and that is the answer that just listen to your direction you listen to the reception he got it
01:58and to be honest big big joe joyce is a likable guy too and and well supported but
02:05the fans really have an affinity with derek cesaro they love him they love what he's about
02:10they love that he's no nonsense they love that he loves a fight yeah and that's why he gets the
02:16support and you think about 135 plus rounds he's beating with some of the most punishing
02:23and brutal opposition joe joyce will not worry him no there'll be no fear in directors or
02:32absolutely none at all and i think out of the two fighters tonight i think big joe
02:37probably has the most to prove he has them two defeats against jillian he also has a win then
02:44against kai shalai which was very very underwhelming to say the least so at a point
02:50you know a year and a half ago two years ago we were we were talking about joe joyce's and i was
02:55as well talking about him as being the next guy the rule of heavyweight division uh just shows you
03:01how quickly things can change well you talk about change only a crisis whether it's active whether
03:09it's perceived only that brings change and joe joyce has been through his own crisis is it gonna
03:16bring change here against a wily opponent who's been there seen it done it and experienced
03:23everything the joy the heartache we've seen a lot of quality fights on this bill tonight with
03:37you know guys showing their class and and boxing beautifully and being being world class at times
03:43we may not see that tonight i think both guys just fancy a bit of brute force and ignorance
03:55and that was a welcome to the show the strength of joe joyce though he
03:59just he just marched him backwards there just marched right back with relative ease
04:04oh
04:20nearly took him to his knees worrying moment there for jesura
04:27hard round jesura started well but it could have ended in tragedy there

04:53you travel fast premiere in rest easy
05:03lotto land casino sponsors boxing on tnt sports
05:09welcome back but he was talking about his his makeup of what his weaknesses are
05:20and he said look you know i can dish it out and i can receive it but i prefer to do more
05:26with my defense this is joe yeah yeah absolutely i mean we all we all know he can do a lot more
05:31with the fans but he's just landed a good shot straight away there i think the thing with both
05:37guys is that neither of them have the fastest hands in the world
05:44but it's it's sudden something brute force strength when it when it's landing
05:53but he still believes that he's going to be a world champion despite those those two defeats
05:59is all about the future overcoming obstacles
06:18it'll be a war of attrition this one we all know that joe joyce
06:21whatever you think about his style we all know he's extremely extremely fit yeah yeah
06:27the competition is the best form of motivation and
06:31chizura will be desperate to put on a show here
06:35just to knock back some of the the naysayers that say that he shouldn't maybe be in there at all
06:43right
06:53and like we said earlier i mean we talk about how much there is on the line here for joe joyce
06:58i think literally his career is over if he loses this fight
07:03you know i don't mean to be harsh but derek he's talked about having 50 fights i think this is fight
07:10number 48 i think if derek if derek loses not that he wants to lose but i think he continues
07:15on to try and reach number 50 really do whether that's right or not wrong suppose it's only up
07:22to him to decide good shot there from derek but again literally just bounces off of joyce
07:34he is having joy here but nothing can shift the juggernaut from his position stood right in front
07:41of him and it's what comes back after he's landed that he's got to be worried about
07:48he's given
07:52has taken a couple more punches than i expect he wanted to take there
07:56took it really well he has taken them but that weakness of defense that even he alludes that
08:02he has got again is glaringly obvious he just needs to be careful up until the jillian fight
08:09i think a lot of people thought that joe joyce couldn't be hurt myself included
08:14but then them shots just bounced off his chin he needs to be careful
08:19oh these are big shots and they're fueling chisora with a belief here
08:24that he can pull off the impossible pull off a big shot big round good round for chisora
08:31and the juggernaut was partially halted in his tracks

08:51you'll feel as satisfied as simon go dot compare
09:01lotto land casino sponsors boxing on tnt sports
09:10well there were many that thought that he wouldn't be in the ring after two rounds
09:14is
09:28josh's message to himself there are dark moments but like in
09:32life you get back in your feet you dust yourself off you get to work again
09:44here we go
10:00when you look at joe and you look at the sides of him and the attributes he has and the strength
10:05and the chin that he has but you know if he just had a little bit more speed he would be
10:12twice the fighter that he already is
10:17and by that do you mean that you would like to see him coming in with less weight no absolutely not
10:22i think that he done that before against against julie zhang and it was to his detriment but
10:28i mean he's never going to be the fastest guy in the world he doesn't have the fastest hands but
10:33he's one of these fighters it takes one to or takes two to land one but there's a problem
10:39you're happy with and sometimes it only takes one shot to knock you out of the scene with the
10:44jang fights well that'll be in the the back of chisora's might as well he's having his
10:48successes in this fight so far but he doesn't want to present himself
10:52as an open target if joyce to land anything on him and he's going to need to measure how much
10:59he puts into these rounds as well says he doesn't leave himself short
11:04in the latter stages of the fight if indeed we get there
11:12good shots to the body there as well from derrick
11:18and we know what derrick's trying to do he's trying to get close and he's trying to land
11:21them by looping hooks joe needs to be punching from a distance straight punches from a distance
11:29just to deter derrick from coming forward that was a good shot from joe
11:34um
11:41look of grim determination wants to grind his man down swings that right hand in and again
11:47you can see it coming from a considerable distance but joyce again
11:52doesn't do anything to get himself out of the way
11:55of the decent uppercut that the choice that launches the not exchange
12:00i'm just looking at derek's face we've seen this look many times before but it looks tired
12:05we're yeah we haven't finished three rounds yet but again a bit like beluda earlier on
12:12if he's tired or not he'll be swinging and while he's in there
12:18good left hook from joe needs character needs personality in his performance here now
12:24personality in his performance here now finds a big shot right on the bell
12:35lotto land casino sponsors boxing on tnt sports
12:47the many fillets that box from 299 believe in deals believe in chicken
12:54uh
12:59lotto land casino sponsors boxing on tnt sports
13:09a look at some of the punch stats as they work on some of the swelling around the chisoras
13:16all right there you go
13:18oh
13:29it's the weight of what he has had to take from joyce the
13:34punches something a bit of that energy out of it as you said it was beginning
13:40to look a little bit tired but it is that look that you know that he always has
13:44you just don't normally expect it to see it so early in a fight that's that's the issue
13:53i mean if you're if you're in there there's a good right hand from joe joyce
14:02i think he might be hurting derek here you know i mean the instructions
14:06from joe joyce's team i can't hear into the corner but they've got to be the punch straight
14:10from distance whether you're going forwards or backwards the third shots are coming from an angle
14:16they're coming wide if you're punching right down the middle he's he's going to walk onto them
14:28oh get that hurt again and you can see these clubbing shots coming in now and just or just
14:37and take a little time on the ropes before launching back into another assault of his own
14:46it's a nice little body shot just sunk in there from
14:48from joe but a good a good left hook and return from derek
14:51oh
15:06the crowd up to their feet and cheering everything that he lands
15:22so
15:25it's a lot better from derek this round
15:31yeah it's a good uh it's a good line that you'd win the battle but really win the war
15:35yeah i just i just can't help but look at his face and think why are you this exhausted but
15:42no derek is as brave as they come and he's just gonna keep throwing
15:46we'll have an idea why he why he's exhausted you've got a 20
15:5020 plus still man marching forward and you're punching shots off his head that
15:55might be part of the reason well his performance already regardless of what else happens will
16:05maybe of a surprise some
16:09four rounds in
16:12and joyce as it hasn't really significantly stunned his opponent here with anything that
16:19he's thrown but that can change in an instant but he takes again another good right hand
16:24leaves himself a little off balance there and he was lucky that there wasn't a counter coming in
16:29but again it's another hard round and joyce is laboring here yeah i think it was a better
16:34round for for derek and he landed a couple of good left hooks which probably stole the round
16:40but joy still coming forward
16:44and it's the size and strength of joe joyce it it takes a lot of energy for
16:50just to keep it
17:08let's go baby
17:19let's go baby let's go big job
17:25halfway through already it can change in an instant but it's a good job so far
17:33be done by by Derek Chisora
17:35okay timing and patience there's a joyce tracks his man yeah i think maybe the better time of
17:55getting will be later on in this fight i mean if joe if joe does what he's doing right now
18:00he's punching from distance doesn't allow derek to get close when derek tries to wing a big hook
18:06and you take a step back i don't think it has to be rocket rocket sense simple boxing can win
18:13this fight for joe but derek derek derek's doing okay he needs to move his head a little bit more
18:20he's a throw a little bit more as well
18:22get a few good wins in throw a title into the mix
18:33good left hook from derek again two good left hooks then
18:40but joyce pinning him on the ropes and that's where it could be dangerous he's doing his best
18:46to cover up chisora and fight his way out which he does
18:50again not making life easy for joe joyce to sit back and just pick his shots
18:59oh good overcut there from joe
19:06i think sometimes with derek the shots look to be a little bit exaggerated when they land on
19:11because he he like he is tired he's obviously very brave and he'd stay in and he'd keep fighting but
19:18because he kind of he gets he lands a shot and he falls back onto the ropes i think it
19:22makes it look worse than what they actually are plenty of diligence plenty of endurance
19:29so far that was a good cut that chisora walked straight on to
19:44how many times he's landed it what three four times now
19:48he's landing them they're not doing a lot he's forcing joe joyce to come at him open up again
19:59but the crowd really getting behind derek chisora here they're loving every bit of
20:06this performance is everything about the man that they love yeah this is derek chisora this
20:12is what he's about he loves the fight and as long as he's allowed to continue to fight he keeps doing
20:18it he's landed some good shots joe started this round quite well but i think derek just some of
20:24the bigger shots he's probably stolen it maybe more than stolen it
20:32which he acknowledges and apologizes for the what a good round that was yeah good right
20:52um
20:56it's exactly the fight we thought we was gonna get a slugfest at the moment
21:00i've got chisora four rounds up i had that last round pretty even they got a good taste of each
21:05other both wing and big king so i'm surprised by joe in this because he's not really using his jab
21:10he's not usually he's not really using his his qualities of a good jab using rangy punches when
21:17hooking in so if he can pick that up in the back end of the fight maybe he'll pick up some more
21:21rounds but at the moment i got six well there you go every round yeah i have a little bit closer
21:32than that to do you have uh derrick in front just how big an upset would this be for you
21:42i don't think it would be a big upset and in terms of i mean a couple of years ago it would
21:46have been a massive upset but i think that i think that joe has lost something since the
21:55g-leg jang fights looking at that last performance against kaisha ali as well i don't think i don't
22:01think it would be an upset
22:05got to establish some authority here
22:09because the only one who has grown in confidence since the opening bell has been derrick chisora
22:17walks on to a good short left-handed from joyce and now he's beginning to unload
22:22and this is where it could all turn in an instant he's slipping a few of these
22:29he was hurt that was a good shot from joe you just need to try and keep this kind of momentum
22:34and pace keep the pace high we know that joe can fight at a high pace he's extremely fit for a heavy
22:39weight yeah he just needs to make sure he's thrown leather all the time
22:58staying at a distance back into the corner though
23:01trying to bring joyce onto him before he lands that right hand again
23:09this time right and left combination is the left this time that crushes onto the jaw
23:16coming
23:24good work there from darry
23:47tim i think a lot of people have derek by mail in front five rounds up talk sport behind us
23:53having i think four walnut but i have a little bit closer i did have them in front but i don't i
23:58don't think derrick's winning this round better the uh the more craft the better technique the
24:06bigger shots being landed by joe joyce
24:16the tide is is turning chisora turns it back in his favor half a minute to go in round six here
24:24he always has that in his locker derrick i mean we we talk about his bravery and how tough he is
24:29but yeah he'll take he literally take 10 shots and land one big massive hook and that's why
24:38shot how many of those right hands as he landed here four in the last round at least three here
24:57a couple of good shots there as well from derek but that eye is just swelling up and it's
25:02a little bit
25:15i think that was a good round from joe i think i think that that was a good round from from joel
25:20joyce but i think a lot of people have a a mile in front here derrick from what i'm listening to
25:26but i i have a i currently have a level one
25:34there we go punches landed what's what's he got to do i mean i know it sounds
25:41reasonably obvious what he's ultimately got to do but what's he got to do to change about
25:45to change his approach here joe joe i mean i just think he needs to throw more i think that
25:51during the period in each round where he has a bit of a first and he lands a big left
26:00i think if joe's punching long from distance it's the best thing he can do
26:21okay starting on the front foot here needs to adapt and revise here joyce
26:30now this is the distance that joe joyce needs to be boxing from just here and you gotta be
26:36able to see them left left and right hooks coming they're coming from so far back he's
26:43getting that short left hook once again finding his way
26:48to the target and he switches right into the body left hook
27:03well how much grit as he as he got left here
27:07joe
27:16it's a real war of attrition here both guys clearly feeling this
27:25but the thing is isn't it at the moment that joe joyce looks as fatigued as as derrich's
27:32i don't think so i don't think he looks as fatigued as derek um i think that derek's
27:38body language is a lot different than joe's but like i said derek's looked like this from round
27:53two around three that's what i meant yeah but he's never sure yeah he just he just continues
27:57to throw and that's what we expect of him
28:04how many times and he said that he must be getting bored of hearing it with a good right
28:08hand and he finds his way every time but jones is in here as well maybe the shots he's got a
28:14lot more shots i think than derek but they're not they're just not as talent
28:22and he says there is one last hurrah one more big shot at the big time a big play day he knows
28:31but if he if he gets this decision here if it does go at the end to
28:36a points decision if he rides this storm out late on if he can hang on
28:43massive shot again by very desirable again joyce walks through you look what happens
28:49there derek throws a good shot a good way to get last pretty clean and he walked back into the corner
28:54exhausted
28:58and that's why i just didn't think it's as clear cut as everybody else around me
29:06and again this is great shots thrown by both in that round
29:15amazing
29:17you see how much he's put into this
29:21and she's all up there we're looking at some of the good work here from joe joyce
29:30good job there from joe and that's the distance that he needs to be at
29:34i mean i hate to sound like a broken record and keep talking on about it but it's
29:38it's simple tactics for if you're joe joyce's corner i know esme sallas is a quality coach
29:43i imagine he's telling them to do that the punch from distance not allowed to get close
29:47and that's how you win this fight yeah looking at the statistics that we're just showing up there
29:54again which is all returning slightly less punches than joe joyce landed more in a higher accuracy
30:03rating percentage wise but is this where we start to see some fearsome angst anxiety apprehension
30:12beginning to creep in trepidation of what might be or what might occur in these these final rounds
30:21here i think at this stage it's who wants it more who wants to win this fight who wants to
30:26continue on with their career oh what a right hook from derek
30:36joe took it really well and he just keeps coming and coming back but that was a quality shot from
30:40derek again i mean the vision to see executing it to perfection as he did
30:47again a quiet moment maybe a quiet spell in around eight and this is the difficulty with
31:10scoring rounds i mean derek is clearly landing the better shots the more the more tail and eye
31:16catching shots but he lands one and and joe maybe lands five or six you know short left or right
31:23hands that's what they like as a judge i i like again i i have this kind of very very close
31:33but other people around me have a mile in front yeah i can i can hear it you can hear it in the
31:38in the background some of the other uh the commentary going on the people's literally
31:42they can't believe what they're what they're saying here maybe i don't know what i'm watching
31:49i'm listening to some of the people behind me and i definitely know a lot more than they do
31:53we'll say no names
31:57good stuff there from derek is into the into the body of
32:05well there it is that's that's exactly what i'm talking about there's a couple of good
32:08shots there from derek and then joe literally goes forward lands a jab and derek falls under
32:14the ropes and it just looks worse than what it is just a little stutter i think
32:21the fight turns in joe joyce's favor can chisora ride the storm out took a big right hand joyce
32:29has got him pinned into the corner these are big moments great comeback again from chisora
32:34the old warrior isn't going to be counted out yet
32:42being told to keep it up back to the ropes he goes these are important moments
32:48he's only got seconds to hang on here to take it into round nine joyce is piling on the pressure
32:56again good left hook from joyce when chisora again digs indeed
33:02coming back again huge character being shown the crowd loving everybody on their feet the moment
33:10was there though yeah i mean there was a there was a chance that he was going to get red he'd
33:15done really really well to stay in there derek got a much better run from joy
33:36what a fight this one is is everything it lived up to everything we thought it was gonna be
33:40um at the moment i've still got to draw up by a round only by one i gave him the first four i
33:46gave a draw in the middle in the last three rounds i've been giving to joe i did wonder
33:51if chisora was going to win the battle but maybe joyce will win the war so
33:55these last few rounds are really telling we'll see how this turns out
33:59oh
34:05it's close joyce's come back and secured it we believe the last three right on
34:16and derek looks hard again yeah he's staggered joyce is over he's got him pinned on the ropes
34:21again he comes out swinging he knows he can't stand there and just suck up all these punches
34:27joyce is going to unload on him incredible courage joe has to be so careful derek i mean
34:35derek's like a wounded animal it's when he's at his most dangerous a bit of a bit of nigel
34:40ben about him where he looks to be hurt he looks to be almost out on his feet and then he just
34:45throws something back extreme bravery there's another good right hand that landed but joe
34:51just continues to march forward cutting the ring off backing him into the corner again
35:00and there's not a lot coming back at the moment he's doing just enough to try and
35:04fend him off to keep him at distance there's a long way to go in this round yet
35:09but joyce beginning to get more and more success as we creep to the midway point in round nine
35:16but again just when you think the tank is empty the tank has run dry jesora is right back at him
35:33he's so brave he's so brave
35:36oh
35:46he was a bit of a sitting target there joyce did not take full advantage these are going to be four
35:53very long minutes that are left in this fight jesora's got a big shot of winning this if he can
36:01if he can avoid joyce's
36:16he looks okay
36:19oh
36:34joyce his career is hanging in the balance here
36:41half a minute to again right at this storm jesora his joyce is all over him
36:59there he comes forward again uses the ropes to get some leverage in there and runs back into
37:05his corner and listen to the reaction of the packed arena here they know that he is three
37:14minutes away from a victory here that's what they believe that's what they believe i mean i i i don't
37:22know how i'm scoring this fight i genuinely don't but listen to people around me and they have
37:27a mile in front
37:43who wins it what the judges are seeing i think the judge's scorecard could be all over the place
37:56oh
38:11maybe to save his career he's got to take his man up maybe some believe to win this
38:19i i honestly don't think i've ever seen a fighter as exhausted as as derek jesora and that's great
38:27saying it's round two but still throwing back it's madness
38:34and this is why he loves the sport this is why he says he is he doesn't listen to anybody he's
38:40his own boss he does what he wants to do it's a hard sport to leave he said even at the end
38:47of your career your whole life is around this sport and he's clinging on for dear life here
38:57no time for artistry no time for finesse flair
39:00perfection virtuosity he has got to dig up a punch from somewhere that is going to take his aura out
39:09has he got it we haven't really seen it all night
39:12he's joe joyce has just got to be careful he doesn't walk into one of these overhand rights
39:20or less and that's why derek's so dangerous no matter how exhausted he looks he's all he
39:29is
39:41you can only wonder what is going through the mind of joe joyce who was on the lips of everybody
39:48we're looking forward to world title challenges as recently as what 18 months ago how quick
39:55everything can change
40:01well this time you can see joe joyce just
40:14i don't even know what he slept on

40:37his career is ebbing away it looks like here chisora summons up a performance a vintage display
40:47he's given absolutely everything
40:50nothing gives you greater pleasure than doing something that people told you you could never do
40:59everybody that had a view or an opinion gave chisora absolutely no wrong
41:10even he's impressed i don't i don't know who won that i do not know who are you serious
41:16i do not know who won that fight i don't think i mean i think it's close i think it's really close
41:22derek landed some good shots in any turn but there just wasn't enough of them
41:27the volume was definitely coming from joe joyce but the impactful shot were coming from derek
41:35i mean we're looking at the stats we've got the stats in front of us
41:38joe joyce is outlandish according to the the jabber stuff
41:43high impact has all moved to dantico
41:48joe joyce is through more but i could be a mail off i might get the sack in the morning i don't know
41:56well we will be seeing
42:01joe choice these are very tense moments the the master of fine art
42:09fine art this wasn't a matisse or a picasso could this be that he turns out to be what andy warhol
42:28said he's gonna be famous for 15 minutes yeah joe thinks he's wanted i mean if you just have
42:34a look at at both fighters well which fighter looks like the fighter that's just wanna fight

42:48these guys waiting for this this decision if it is a uh a victory for derek then we
42:54know what's going to happen then if it is a defeat for for joe joyce where does he go
43:00that's the end of the road for him i really do
43:04and i think it probably calls for that for derek as well just because the amount of
43:08wars that he's been in the many top fights he's been in if he loses this there's no way he's
43:13walking away after a performance like that no derek derek has stated that he wants to have
43:1850 fights i think he's talked about he wants to have a fight in africa um so no doubt he will
43:30oh

43:45and it's a one of the one of these great quotes derek chisora he said listen in boxing getting
43:51knocked out is better than losing on the points uh well yeah the guarding your shield i suppose
43:58have you put it that way i understand completely what he's saying
