Joe Joyce and Derek Chisora headline stacked undercard in London

Joyce was on the cusp of a first world title shot before running into Chinese heavyweight Zhilei Zhang back in April 2023.

The Briton headed into the bout with a 15-0 record but consecutive stoppage losses left him in a perilous position heading into 2024.

Joyce has since rebounded with a tenth-round stoppage victory over Kash Ali but knows another defeat against an unfancied Chisora this weekend will kill any chances of fighting for a world title.

Chisora himself has already fought for world honours on two separate occasions, losing both to Vitali Klitschko in 2012 and then countryman Tyson Fury at the back end of 2022.

He also returned to winning ways last time out, edging a unanimous decision victory over America’s Gerald Washington in August last year, but still comes into this one a firm underdog given the mileage on his clock.

Dennis McCann looks to right Ionut Baluta wrong in chief support

Maidstone super-bantamweight Dennis McCann (15-0-1, 8KOs) hopes to right the only blemish on his resume when he rematches Romania’s Ionut Baluta (16-4-1, 3KOs) for the European title on Saturday.

The pair fought over nine frenetic rounds back in August 2023 before the bout was halted due to an accidental head clash opened up a cut on McCann‘s forehead.

A technical draw was announced after two of the three judges ringside scored the bout even to setup an intriguing second stanza between the pair this weekend.

Unbeaten super-featherweights Ryan Garner (15-0, 8KOs) and Archie Sharp (25-0, 9KOs) also meet further down the card in a well-matched domestic affair.
