Joe Joyce vs Derek Chisora Undercard

Joe Joyce vs Derek Chisora Fight

Division/Weight: heavy
Joe Joyce record: 16-2
Derek Chisora record: 34-13
Belts at stake: N/A

Joe Joyce faces Derek Chisora in a heavyweight bout with no belts on the line.

Joe Joyce turned pro in 2017 and boasts a fight record of 16 wins, 2 losses, with 15 of those wins by knockout. He knocked out Kash Ali in his most recent match but lost twice to Zhilei Zhang before that. Facing Chisora, who has more experience but less KO power compared to Zhang, might favor Joyce due to his resilience and aggressive knockout style.

Derek Chisora turned professional in 2007 with a record of 34 wins and 13 losses; he won 23 by knockout. After his clear unanimous decision win against Gerald Washington, Chisora has gathered significant momentum. Given his extensive experience and recent performance, Chisora will be a formidable opponent for Joyce, potentially capitalizing on his stamina and tactical superiority over younger fighters like Joyce.

Dennis McCann vs Ionut Baluta Fight

Division/Weight: super bantam
Dennis McCann record: 15-0
Ionut Baluta record: 16-4
Belts at stake: EBU European Super Bantamweight Title

Dennis McCann faces Ionut Baluta for the EBU European Super Bantamweight Title.

Dennis McCann turned pro in 2019 and has a record of 15 wins, no losses, one draw, and 8 KOs. His impressive track with recent victories shows his strong form, like defeating Brad Strand by unanimous decision. Facing Baluta again suggests a close match given their previous draw but hints at an edge for McCann due to his knockout power.

Ionut Baluta turned pro in 2016 with a tally of 16 wins, 4 losses, one draw, and 3 knockouts. His experience includes a split-decision win against Andrew Cain. Reviewing his history with McCann indicates they're closely matched. Baluta's consistent performance in the ring points to another competitive bout likely going the distance once more.

Ryan Garner vs Archie Sharp Fight

Division/Weight: super feather
Ryan Garner record: 15-0
Archie Sharp record: 25-0
Belts at stake: WBC International Super Featherweight Title

Ryan Garner faces Archie Sharp for the WBC International Super Featherweight Title.

Ryan Garner, who turned pro in 2016, boasts an undefeated record with 15 wins including 8 by knockout. He recently defeated Liam Dillon by unanimous decision. Considering Dillon's lower knockout rate compared to Garner’s, Ryan used his superior knockout power effectively and could exploit a similar advantage against Sharp.

Archie Sharp also enters with an immaculate record of 25 wins, maintaining a slightly higher win record than Garner but fewer knockouts. His last victory was a points win over Reuquen Cona Facundo Arce, demonstrating consistent performance against fighters with substantial experience and knockout potential similar to Garner's recent opponents. This could indicate that Sharp's strategic fighting style might counterbalance Ryan's power in their upcoming bout.

Moses Itauma vs Mariusz Wach Fight

Division/Weight: heavy
Moses Itauma record: 9-0
Mariusz Wach record: 38-10
Belts at stake: WBO Inter Continental Heavyweight Title

Moses Itauma faces Mariusz Wach for the WBO Inter Continental Heavyweight Title.

Moses Itauma turned pro in January 2023 and has already built a record of 9 wins, 0 losses, with 7 knockouts. His last knockout win came against Ilja Mezencev in May 2024, who had a strong record (25-4, 21 KOs). Based on his performance and knockout rate of 77.78%, Itauma’s aggressive style will be decisive against Wach.

Mariusz Wach, seasoned with a record of 38 wins and 10 losses, has faced diverse competition. His last unanimous decision victory over Michal Boloz positions him as resilient but less dominant in knockouts compared to Itauma. Given Wach’s experience but lower KO rate (52.63%), he faces a tough challenge countering Itauma's powerful punches.

Raven Chapman vs Yohana Sarabia Fight

Division/Weight: feather
Raven Chapman record: 8-0
Yohana Sarabia record: 10-0
Belts at stake: WBC International Female Featherweight Title

Raven Chapman will face Yohana Sarabia for the WBC International Female Featherweight Title.

Raven Chapman, undefeated with eight wins, debuted in 2021. She last defeated Lucie Sedlackova, who had a stronger KO record. Given her consistent performance against tougher opponents, Chapman likely holds advantage in power and technique over Sarabia. Adjusting to featherweight may influence her focus.

Yohana Sarabia also holds an unbeaten record of ten wins. In her last fight, she overcame Ana Maria Lozano, a veteran with significant experience. Sarabia's high KO rate suggests she brings considerable power, potentially matching Chapman's strength but must underscore her speed and tactical prowess.

Royston Barney Smith vs Brian Barajas Fight

Division/Weight: super feather
Royston Barney Smith record: 10-0
Brian Barajas record: 7-0
Belts at stake: WBO Youth Super Featherweight Title

Royston Barney Smith will fight Brian Barajas for the WBO Youth Super Featherweight Title.

Royston turned pro in 2022 and maintains an undefeated record of 10-0, showcasing his skill by knocking out half of his opponents. His last win was a points victory against Jonatas Rodrigo Gomes de Oliveira, signaling Royston's ability to tactically outmatch opponents with more experience, like Jonatas with a 83.33% KO rate in a lighter division. Facing Brian Barajas, who has less experience and fewer wins by knockout, indicates a likely advantage for Royston due to his consistent performance against tougher opponents.

Brian Barajas also started professional boxing in 2022 and holds an undefeated record of 7-0-1 with three knockouts. His latest bout saw him defeat Wuilkleman Rivas by retirement, suggesting he can handle rising challenges efficiently. However, comparing their competition level—Wuilkleman moving up from light division with substantial knockout power—shows Brian might face difficulties against Royston’s proven track record in the super featherweight class, maintaining stronger defense and tactics.

Sean Noakes vs Inder Bassi Fight

Division/Weight: welter
Sean Noakes record: 7-0
Inder Bassi record: 12-1
Belts at stake: N/A

Sean Noakes faces Inder Bassi in a welterweight clash.

Sean Noakes, hailing from the UK, turned professional in 2022 and hasn't looked back with a perfect record of 7-0, including 4 KOs. His last match saw him defeat Marian Wesolowski via TKO. Considering that his past opponents had relatively more losses than wins, facing Inder Bassi represents a challenging step up due to Bassi's stronger record and similar weight class experience.

Inder Bassi also from the UK, has an impressive professional run since 2019 with a record of 12 wins and only one loss. His last bout resulted in a win against Ilias Liokaftos by points. Unlike Noakes’s previous matches where he fought less experienced opponents, Bassi has been tested against better-matched fighters, setting up an interesting contest between two fighters who have been progressively tested at their own levels.

Aadam Hamed vs Georgi Velichkov Fight

Division/Weight: super light
Aadam Hamed record: 1-0
Georgi Velichkov record: 4-21
Belts at stake: N/A

Aadam Hamed will face Georgi Velichkov in a super light category match.

Aadam Hamed, from the UAE, turned professional in 2023 and won his debut by TKO. With a pro record of 1-0, boasting a 100% knockout rate from one bout, his first win came against Vojtech Hrdy who had five losses when they fought. This shows Hamed's capability to bring power early on. Facing Velichkov, who has a substantial loss record, may see Hamed aiming for another early knockout given their respective track records.

Georgi Velichkov began his career in 2021 and currently has a record of 4 wins with 21 losses. His most recent fight ended in a TKO loss to Joe Morgan with an unblemished record. Given that Velichkov often loses against rising fighters, his bout against the undefeated newcomer Aadam Hamed suggests he might struggle to combat Hamed’s knockout prowess in his initial fights.

Umar Khan vs Kaddour Hmiani Fight

Division/Weight: feather
Umar Khan record: 9-0
Kaddour Hmiani record: 4-2
Belts at stake: N/A

Umar Khan faces Kaddour Hmiani in a featherweight class bout.

Umar Khan turned professional in 2021 and boasts an undefeated record of 9 wins, including 1 by knockout. His recent victory against Maicol Velazco via TKO highlights his punching power. Facing opponents like Velazco with more losses than wins suggests Khan might find a competitive challenge against Hmiani, despite the similar weight class, due to Hmiani’s mixed outcomes.

Kaddour Hmiani also started his professional career in 2021 but has a record of 4 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws, with 2 victories coming by knockouts. He recently faced a defeat to Matthieu Lehot via unanimous decision. Comparing his last fights where opponents had fluctuating records and high resilience suggests Hmiani might struggle against Khan's unbeaten momentum and higher competition level experience within the same weight category.

Brandun Lee vs Juan Anacona Fight

Division/Weight: super light
Brandun Lee record: 28-0
Juan Anacona record: 11-0
Belts at stake: N/A

Brandun Lee faces Juan Anacona in a super light weight class fight.

Brandun Lee turned pro in 2017 and has a flawless 28-0 record with 23 wins by KO. His last bout was a unanimous decision against Pedro Campa, who had a significantly strong record himself (36-3-1). Given Lee's proven track record of knockouts and taking on experienced opponents, his powerful striking might give him an upper hand against Anacona's less tested capabilities at this level.

Juan Anacona started his professional career in 2022 and has maintained an unbeaten streak with an 11-0 record, including 6 knockouts. His recent win via unanimous decision was over Santiago Garces, who holds a far less impressive record (4-30-5). Facing Brandun Lee will be a major step up for Anacona given Lee’s aggressive knockout ability and vast experience against higher caliber opponents.

Jermaine Dhliwayo vs Engel Gomez Fight

Division/Weight: bantam
Jermaine Dhliwayo record: 0-0
Engel Gomez record: 8-32
Belts at stake: N/A

Jermaine Dhliwayo faces Engel Gomez in a non-title bantamweight bout.

This will be the first professional fight for Jermaine Dhliwayo.

Engel Gomez enters with a record of 8 wins, 32 losses, and 3 draws. With a knockout rate of 50%, his recent bouts unfortunately reflect consistent losses against beginner level fighters like Billy Hervey and Lee Welsh.
