JAKARTA Joe Joyce's boxing career has become increasingly gloomy, after suffering a 12-round loss to Derek Chisora in a duel at the O2 Arena, London, England, Saturday 27 July 2024. In the 10-round non-weight title duel, Joyce lost 92-97, 94-96, and 94-96.

The defeat came as a surprise, given Joyce's favor in the 5:1 betting market. Joyce's status as WBO's interim champion and WBC's 6th ranking have convinced the petaruh.

Joyce, 38, is trying to reorganize her boxing career, following a consecutive knockout defeat to Chinese boxer Zhang Zhilei in April and September 2023. The British boxer tried to get up by knockout over Kash Ali in Birmingham on March 16.

Thanks to the defeat to Chisora, Joyce, who was originally championed, will become one of the champion boxers, becoming uncertain. Moreover, he was brought down by Chisora in the 9th round, which further eroded his image as a hit-resistant boxer. Joyce's playing record is now deteriorating with 16-3-0 (15 KO).

Meanwhile, Chisora (40 years) with a record 35-13-0 (23 KOs) firmly said she would continue her career. The game against Joyce is her fight after almost a year without getting into the ring. Like Joyce, Chisora is also a black boxer from England.

Saya belum akan pensiun. Masih ada dua laga lagi, salah satunya di Manchester. Saya terima kasih kepada Frank Warren yang ber loyal menjadi prodoktur saya. Akan menjadi hal terhormat dan menyenangkan bagi saya, bila mengakhiri karier dengan melakukan duel punggasan di bawah promosinya, kata Chisora seperti dikutip TNT Sports.
