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 opponent 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.”
