Joe Joyce vs Derek Chisora Weigh In Results

Joe Joyce and Derek Chisora stepped on the scales at the O2 Arena in London, England, setting the stage for their upcoming fight. During their weigh-in today, July 27, 2023, Joyce registered a weight of 281.2 pounds as he prepares to battle against Chisora, who weighed in at 256.7 pounds. The bout will be televised tomorrow, July 28, at 3:30 p.m. ET across ESPN+.

Promoter Frank Warren emphasized the critical nature of this fight for both contenders. According to Warren: "For both of these guys, it's a career-defining moment for them. One of them is going to have a career, and one of them is not."

Joyce's weight has been a point of concern since he displayed suboptimal performances while fighting in the high 280s range over his last few bouts -- notably getting hurt during his March 2023 match against Kash Ali despite defeating Christian Hammer and Zhilei Zhang in earlier fights via knockouts.

Chisora comes into this match after losing four out of his last six fights and faces possible retirement or reduced promotional opportunities if he does not secure main events moving forward. As reflected in Warren’s words: "It won't go the distance. It's going to be exciting while it lasts."
