Boxing fans saw one of Derek Chisora’s best performances as he knocked down Joe Joyce in the ninth round, securing a unanimous decision win after a thrilling heavyweight fight at the O2 Arena. Chisora ​​stayed aggressive in every round and earned a substantial payday for his victory. Let’s look at how much he made from this event.

In his recent fight against Fury, Chisora ​​earned an impressive $5.8 million. While this match wasn’t as high-profile, estimates suggest Chisora’s earnings will be more than a million dollars when considering promotions and PPV. The exact amount is yet to be disclosed. Meanwhile, according to Nyfights, Joyce is expected to earn $250,000 from this bout.

Fans might wonder why Chisora ​​is earning more in this fight. This is due to his extensive fighting experience, which is double that of Joyce, and his status as a well-known figure in the boxing world. Additionally, Chisora ​​has a larger fan following than Joyce, contributing to his higher earnings. Besides his earnings, ‘War Chisora’ also dominated the fight.

In the early rounds, Chisora ​​unleashed powerful hooks from both hands on the stationary Joyce. By the third round, Joyce began to time his opponents as he moved in. By the fourth round, Chisora ​​looked tired. However, the 40-year-old didn’t give up; he fought harder, knocked down Joyce, and secured the win. Despite this victory, his future in boxing remains uncertain.

What’s Next for Derek Chisora?

Not only Joyce, but Chisora ​​also confirmed his future fighting plans. In the post-fight interview with TNT Sports, War Chisora ​​said,

“I want to thank Frank Warren for keeping faith with me. I thought it was a good way to end my career with the man I started with. It’s not my last fight – I’ve got two more. It’s my last fight in the O2 Arena. I’ll go to Manchester in December.”

Overall, the boxing event was a pure treat for the fans, who also received good news: they can look forward to seeing fan-favorite War Chisora ​​in future fights. While the details of his next fight and opponents are not yet confirmed, fans can expect an announcement soon.
