British heavyweights Joe Joyce and Derek Chisora are set to face off at London's O2 Arena on July 27.
Joyce, who recently returned to the ring after two consecutive knockout defeats to Zhilei Zhang, will look to reestablish his standing in the heavyweight rankings. In his comeback fight in March, the 2016 Olympic silver medallist secured a 10th-round knockout victory over Kash Ali, though his performance indicated room for improvement.

Before his losses to Zhang, Joyce was a serious contender for world title fights. He had achieved significant victories, including handing Joseph Parker his first knockout defeat and defeating notable opponents like Daniel Dubois and Carlos Takam.
Chisora, now 40, last fought in August, where he triumphed over Gerald Washington in London following his third defeat to Tyson Fury. Chisora's career, marked by numerous high-profile battles, adds a seasoned edge to the upcoming contest.
Promoter Frank Warren described the matchup as "a proper old school heavyweight fight" that has been long-awaited. He emphasized the high stakes, suggesting that the victor will move closer to major title opportunities, while a loss could signal the end of the road for the defeated fighter.
"Two top London heavies fighting it out for a place back at the top table promises to deliver a cracking scrap. The winner is right back in business, with no real place to go for the loser."
