00:00Gents, we've already been through the final instructions in the dressing room and you know what I expect, a clean fight, remember to obey my commands at all times, above all, protect yourselves at all times, touch gloves, touch gloves, thank you.
00:13Here we go then, nothing quite like a domestic clash to get the juices flowing over the last 50 years, been plenty.
00:20Bodele, McElindan, Joe Bugner, Henry Cooper, Lewis Mason, Lewis Bruno, Hey Chisora, Joshua, this should be no different.
00:32As Chisora put it, Joe doesn't go back, I don't go back either.
00:37And there were some who have been questioning what he's doing in a ring anyway, but his message was simple here, I listen to no one, I'm my own boss, I make my own decisions and I do what I want.
00:50And he's here because he wants to be here and he's here because the supporters want to see him here, and that is the answer to that, just listen to the reaction.
01:00You listen to the reception, he got it, and to be honest, big Joe Joyce is a likeable guy too and well supported, but the fans really have an affinity with Derek Chisora, they love him, they love what he's about, they love that he's no nonsense, they love that he loves a fight, and that's why he gets this support.
01:21When you think about it, 135 plus rounds, he's been in with some of the most punishing, brutal opposition, Joe Joyce will not worry him.
01:33No, there'll be no fear in Derek Chisora, absolutely none at all. And I think out of the two fighters tonight, I think big Joe probably has the most to prove. He has them two defeats against Zhilei Zhang.
01:46He also has a win then against Kaisha Ali, which was very, very underwhelming to say the least, so at a point a year and a half ago, two years ago, we were talking about Joe Joyce, and I was as well, talking about him as being the next guy to rule the heavyweight division.
02:03It just shows you how quickly things can change.
02:33We've seen a lot of quality fights on this bill tonight with guys showing their class and boxing beautifully and being world class at times. We may not see that tonight, I think both guys just fancy a bit of brute force and ignorance.
02:53Good shot there from Derek Chisora.
02:59And that was a welcome to the show.
03:02The strength of Joe Joyce though, he just marched them backwards there, just marched Derek back with relative ease.
03:08Oh, he's taken one of his own and Derek's hurt.
03:21Joyce caught him, the counterpunch nearly took him to his knees. Worrying moment there for Chisora.
03:28Hard round for Chisora, started well, but it could have ended in tragedy there.
03:58Premier in, rest easy.
04:29I could do more with my defense.
04:32This is Joe. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, we all know he can do a lot more with his defense, but he's just landed a good shot straight away there.
04:40I think the thing with both guys is that neither of them have the fastest hands in the world, but it's sudden something, brute force, strength when it's landing.
04:58He still believes that he's going to be a world champion. Despite those two defeats, it's all about the future.
05:06Overcoming obstacles, good left hook there from Chisora. But again, you're talking about him walking through them.
05:13It could be a war of attrition, this one. We all know that Joe Joyce, whatever you think about his style, we all know he's extremely, extremely fit.
05:30Yeah, yeah. But competition is the best form of motivation and Chisora will be desperate to put on a show here just to knock back some of the naysayers that say that he shouldn't maybe be in there at all.
05:45Like we said earlier, we talk about how much there is on the line here for Joe Joyce. I think literally his career is over if he loses this fight.
06:07I don't mean to be harsh, but Durek, he's talked about having 50 fights. I think this is fight number 48. I think if Durek loses, not that he wants to lose, but I think he continues on to try and reach number 50.
06:22Whether that's right or wrong, I suppose it's only up to him to decide.
06:26Good shot there from Durek.
06:56Has taken a couple more punches than I expected he wanted to take there.
07:00Took it really well.
07:02He has taken that weakness of defense that even he alludes that he has got again is glaringly obvious.
07:10He just needs to be careful up until the Zhili Zhang fight. I think a lot of people thought that Joe Joyce couldn't be hurt, myself included.
07:17But them shots just bounced off his chin. He needs to be careful.
07:22These are big shots and they're fueling Chisora with a belief here that he can pull off the impossible.
07:30Pull off a big shot, big round, good round for Chisora.
07:34And the juggernaut was partially halted in his trance.
07:51With a £250 excess refund reward on your car insurance, you'll feel as satisfied as Simon.
08:22There is that swinging left hand.
08:32Joyce's message to himself, there are dark moments but like in life, you get back on your feet, you dust yourself off, you get to work again.
08:52Derek was doing well there, just making Joe miss with a number of shots and coming back with him hooked.
09:03You look at Joe and you look at the sides of him and the attributes he has and the strength and the chin that he has.
09:10But if he just had a little bit more speed, he would be twice the fighter that he already is.
09:21And by that, do you mean that you would like to see him coming in with less weight?
09:26No, absolutely not. I think that he'd done that before against Julie Zhang and it was to his detriment.
09:32But I mean, he's never going to be the fastest guy in the world. He doesn't have the fastest hands.
09:37But he's one of these fighters that takes two to land one.
09:42But there's a problem. You're a heavyweight and sometimes it only takes one shot to knock you out, as we've seen with the Zhang fights.
09:49Well, that'll be in the back of Chisora's mind as well. He's having his successes in this fight so far,
09:54but he doesn't want to present himself as an open target here for Joyce to land anything on him.
10:00And he's going to need to measure how much he puts into these rounds as well,
10:06so he doesn't leave himself short in the latter stages of the fight, if indeed we get there.
10:12Good shot to the body there as well from Derrick.
10:18And we know what Derrick's trying to do. He's trying to get close and he's trying to land them big looping hooks.
10:24Joe needs to be punching from a distance, straight punches from a distance,
10:30just to deter Derrick from coming forward. That was a good shot from Joe.
10:43Look of grim determination. Wants to grind his man down. Swings that right hand in and again.
10:50You can see it coming from a considerable distance, but Joyce again doesn't do anything to get himself out of the way.
10:58That was a decent uppercut there that Joyce did land just in that exchange.
11:05I'm just looking at Derrick's face. We've seen this look many times before, but he looks tired.
11:12We haven't finished three rounds yet, but again, a bit like Beluda earlier on.
11:18If he's tired or not, he'll be swinging while he's in there.
11:23Good left hook from Joe.
11:26Needs character, needs personality in his performance here now.
11:31Finds a big shot right on the belt.
12:01Lottoland Casino sponsors boxing on TNT Sports.
12:32It's the weight of what he has had to take from Joyce.
12:37He punches, sucking a bit of that energy out of him.
12:43As you said, he was beginning to look a little bit tired, but it is that look that you know that he always has.
12:51You just don't normally expect to see it so early in a fight. That's the issue.
12:57If you're in there, there's a good right hand from Joe Joyce.
13:00Good left hook.
13:05I think he might be hurting Derrick here.
13:08The instructions from Joe Joyce's team, I can't hear into the corner, but they've got to be to punch straight from distance.
13:15Whether you're going forwards or backwards.
13:17Derrick's shots are coming from an angle. They're coming wide.
13:21If you're punching right down the middle, he's going to walk onto them.
13:27You're taking everything I have.
13:35Again, you can see these clubbing shots coming in now.
13:39Just taking a little time on the ropes before launching back into another assault of his own.
13:48There's a nice little body shot just sunk in there from Joe, but a good left hook in return from Derrick.
14:00Once again, another good left hand too from Chisora.
14:05And this time the right finds its way in as well.
14:08And once more, the crowd to their feet and cheering everything that he lands.
14:18It's a lot better from Derrick this round.
14:23Yeah, it's a good line-up.
14:25You win the battle, but really win the war.
14:28Yeah, I just can't help but look at his face and think, why are you this exhausted?
14:33But no one derricked him.
14:36I think it's a good line-up.
14:38I think it's a good line-up.
14:40I think it's a good line-up.
14:42I just can't help but look at his face and think, why are you this exhausted?
14:46But no one derricked him.
14:48He's as brave as they come, and he's just going to keep throwing.
14:51We'll have an idea why he's exhausted.
14:54You've got a 20-plus stone man marching forward.
14:58And you're punching shots off his head.
15:00That may be part of the reason.
15:05Well, his performance already, regardless of what else happens,
15:09may be of surprise some.
15:13Four rounds in.
15:16And Joyce Adjik hasn't really significantly stunned his opponent here with anything that he's thrown.
15:24But that can change in an instant.
15:26But he takes again another good right hand.
15:28Leaves himself a little off balance there.
15:30And he was lucky that there wasn't a counter coming in.
15:33But again, it's another hard round.
15:35And Joyce is laboring here.
15:37Yeah, I think it was a better round for Derrick.
15:40He landed a couple of good left hooks, which probably stole the round for him.
15:44But Joyce is still coming forward.
15:48And it's to say he's in strength with Joe Joyce,
15:51it takes a lot of energy for Derrick Dezoy just to keep him off.
15:56He's coming on top.
15:58And one more thing.
15:59When he comes to you, he is well out.
16:04A little bit of punishment.
16:07And?
16:08Joey, by the center.
16:12Let's go, baby.
16:17Joey now never makes it.
16:23Let's go, baby.
16:24Let's go, big Joe.
16:27Center zone.
16:28Beautiful.
16:29We are halfway through already.
16:32It can change in an instant.
16:34But it's a good job so far.
16:37Being done by Derrick Chisora.
16:39Derrick Chisora.
16:52Okay, timing and patience.
16:54There's Joyce tracks his man.
16:58He knows maybe the better time to get him will be later on in this fight.
17:01I mean, if Joe does what he's doing right now at the start of the round,
17:04if he's punching from distance,
17:06doesn't allow Derrick to get close.
17:08When Derrick tries to wing a big hook in,
17:10you take a step back.
17:12I don't think it has to be rocket sense.
17:16Simple boxing can win this fight for Joe.
17:20But Derrick's doing okay.
17:22He needs to move his head a little bit more.
17:24He needs to throw a little bit more as well.
17:30Well, the objective, Joe Joyce,
17:32that is get a few good wins in,
17:34throw a title into the mix.
17:37Good left hook from Derrick.
18:03Oh, good uppercut there from Joe.
18:07Oh.
18:10I think sometimes with Derrick,
18:12the shots look to be a little bit exaggerated when they land on Derrick
18:16because he is tired.
18:19He's obviously very brave and he'd stay in and he'd keep fighting.
18:22But because he lands a shot and he falls back onto the ropes,
18:26I think it makes it look worse than what they actually are.
18:31Plenty of diligence, plenty of endurance shown so far.
18:34Good uppercut that Chisora walked straight onto.
18:46Oh, again, there's that right hand.
18:48How many times he's landed it?
18:50What, three, four times now?
18:52He's landing them.
18:53They're not doing a lot.
18:54He's forcing Joe Joyce to come at him.
18:56Open up again.
18:58Oh.
19:03The crowd really getting behind Derrick Chisora here.
19:08They're loving every bit of this performance.
19:11It's everything about the man that they love.
19:14Yeah, this is Derrick Chisora.
19:16This is what he's about.
19:18He loves a fight.
19:20And as long as he's allowed to continue to fight, he'll keep doing it.
19:24He's landed some good shots.
19:25Joe started this round quite well,
19:27but I think Derrick, just some of the bigger shots,
19:29has probably stolen it.
19:30Maybe more than stolen it.
19:32Constant landing of his right hand.
19:34Great one out to the bell,
19:36which he acknowledges and apologizes for.
19:39But what a good round that was.
19:42Yeah, good round.
19:58Hey, guys.
19:59Look, it's exactly the fight we thought we were going to get.
20:03Slugfest.
20:04At the moment, I've got Chisora four rounds up.
20:06I had that last round pretty even.
20:08They got a good taste of each other.
20:10Both wing and big kicks.
20:11I'm surprised by Joe in this, because he's not really using his jab.
20:14He's not really using his qualities of a good jab.
20:19He's using rangy punches when Chisora's just hooking in.
20:22So if he can pick that up in the back end of the fight,
20:25maybe he'll pick up some more rounds.
20:26At the moment, I've got Chisora four rounds up.
20:32Well, there you go.
20:33Every round?
20:34Yeah.
20:35I have it a little bit closer than that.
20:36I do have Derrick in front.
20:42Just how big an upset would this be for you?
20:46I don't think it would be a big upset.
20:49I mean, a couple of years ago, it would have been a massive upset.
20:52But I think that...
20:55I think that Joe has lost something since the Zhelek Zhang fight.
21:01Looking at that last performance against Kai Shaoli as well,
21:04I don't think it would be an upset.
21:22A good, short left hand there from Joyce.
21:24And now he's beginning to unload.
21:26And this is where it could all turn in an instant.
21:30He's slipping a few of these.
21:33He was hurt.
21:34That was a good shot from Joe.
21:36You just need to try and keep this kind of momentum and pace.
21:39Keep the pace high.
21:40We know that Joe can fight at a high pace.
21:42He's extremely fit for a heavyweight.
21:44Yeah.
21:46He just needs to make sure he's throwing leather all the time.
21:52You don't see it.
22:02Staying at a distance.
22:03Backed into the corner, though.
22:05Trying to bring Joyce onto him before he lands that right hand again.
22:13This time, right and left combination.
22:15It was the left this time that crushes onto the jaw.
22:22Good work there from Derek.
22:44You do a great job.
22:45Just listen to the other people around us.
22:47Tim, I think a lot of people are watching.
22:49Just listen to the other people around us.
22:51Tim, I think a lot of people have Derek by a mile in front.
22:54Five rounds up.
22:56Talksport behind us having, I think, four or one up.
22:59But I have a little bit closer.
23:01I did have him in front.
23:02But I don't think Derek's winning this round.
23:06The more craft, the better technique.
23:09The bigger shots being landed by Joe Joyce.
23:13And every time you think that the tide is turning,
23:16Chisora turns it back in his favor.
23:19Half a minute to go in round six here.
23:23He always has that in his locker, Derek.
23:25I mean, we talk about his bravery and how tough he is.
23:28But he literally takes ten shots and lands one big massive hook in that curve.
23:36Oh, what a shot.
23:37What a race.
23:38Four in the last round.
23:40At least three here.
23:49A couple of good shots there as well from Derek.
23:51But that eye is just swelling up, and it's definitely a nice one.
23:55It's a nice one.
23:56And that is going to be a good round.
23:58And it's going to be a good round.
23:59He's going to be looking for the wide shot.
24:01He's going to be looking for that wide shot.
24:03He's got a good shot.
24:04He's got to get it.
24:05Got to get it.
24:07It's definitely annoying him a little bit.
24:19I think that was a good round from Joel.
24:21I think that was a good round from Joel Joyce.
24:25But I think a lot of people have a mile in front here.
24:28Derek, from what I'm listening to.
24:30But I currently have it level.
24:38There we go. Punches landed.
24:42What's he got to do?
24:44I mean, I know it sounds relatively obvious what he's ultimately got to do.
24:47But what's he got to do about changing his approach here, Joe?
24:51Joe? I mean, he just needs to throw more.
24:53I think that Derek, he's tired.
24:56There's a period in each round where he has a bit of a burst.
25:00And he lands a big left hooch and a big right hooch.
25:04I think if Joel's punching long from distance, it's the best thing he can do.
25:25Derek's starting on the front foot here.
25:28Needs to adapt and revise here, Joyce.
25:34Now, this is the distance that Joel Joyce needs to be boxing from.
25:37Just here.
25:40And you've got to be able to see them left and right hooch coming.
25:43They're coming from so far back.
25:46He's taken that again, that short left hooch.
25:49Once again, finding his way to the target.
25:53And he switches right into the body, left hooch.
25:59Well, how much grit has he got left here, Joe?
26:19It's a real war of attrition here. Both guys clearly feeling this.
26:29But the thing is, isn't it at the moment that Joe Joyce looks as fatigued as Derek's aura does?
26:36I don't think so. I don't think he looks as fatigued as Derek.
26:41I think that Derek's body language is a lot different than Joe's.
26:44So that's a good uppercut from Joe.
26:46But like I said, Derek's looked like this from round two or round three.
26:57That's what I meant. You're never sure.
27:00Yeah, he just continues to throw. And that's what we expect of him.
27:05Three in a row!
27:15But Joe's loving here as well.
27:17He's loving a lot more shots, I think, than Derek.
27:20But they're just not as talented.
27:35But if he gets this decision, if it does go to the end to a points decision,
27:42if he rides this storm out late on, if he can hang on.
27:46Oh, good shot.
27:47Massive shot again by Derek's aura.
27:50But again, Joyce walks through.
27:52Well, you look what happens there. Derek throws a good shot.
27:54A good right hook. It lands pretty clean.
27:56And he walked back into the corner, exhausted.
28:00Come on, Joe!
28:02And that's why I just don't think it's as clear-cut as everybody else around here.
28:06I think this is a close fight.
28:10And again, just great shots thrown by both in that round.
28:18Amazing.
28:21You see how much he's put into this.
28:25And you saw that we're looking at some of the good work here from Joe Joyce.
28:34Good job there from Joe.
28:35And that's the distance that he needs to be at.
28:38I mean, I hate to sound like a broken record and keep harping on about it,
28:41but it's simple tactics.
28:43If you're Joe Joyce's corner, I know Ace Marsalis is a quality coach.
28:47I imagine he's telling him to do that, to punch from distance, not allow him to get close.
28:51And that's how you win this fight.
29:21What might occur in these final rounds here?
29:25I think at this stage, it's who wants it more.
29:28Who wants to win this fight? Who wants to continue on with their career?
29:35What a right hook from Derrick.
29:40Joe took it really well.
29:41And he just keeps coming and coming back, but that was a quality shot from Derrick.
29:46Again, I'm in the vision to see him executing it to perfection as he did.
30:06Again, a quiet moment, maybe a quiet spell in round eight.
30:12And this is the difficulty with scoring rounds.
30:14I mean, Derrick is clearly landing the better shots, the more tail-and-eye catching shots.
30:20But he lands one, and Joe maybe lands five or six short left or right hands.
30:28And it's what you like as a judge.
30:30Again, I have this kind of very, very close, but other people around me have left Derrick a mile in front.
30:40Yeah, I can hear it.
30:41You can hear it in the background.
30:43Some of the other commentary going on.
30:45The people, literally, they can't believe what they're seeing here.
30:48Maybe I don't know what I'm watching.
30:50Maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.
30:52I'm listening to some of the people behind me, and I definitely know a lot more than they do.
30:56We'll say no names.
31:00Good stuff there from Derrick.
31:02It is into the body of Joe.
31:09Well, there it is.
31:10That's exactly what I'm talking about.
31:12There's a couple of good shots there from Derrick.
31:14And then Joe literally goes forward, lands a jab, and Derrick falls onto the ropes.
31:18And it just looks worse than what it is.
31:22Just a little stop.
31:23Oh, he's got it, I think.
31:24Now, as he got up, it's the moment that Mike turns in Joe Joyce's favor.
31:28Can Chisora ride the storm out?
31:31Took a big right hand.
31:33Joyce has got him pinned into the corner.
31:35These are big moments.
31:36Great comeback again from Chisora.
31:38The old warrior isn't going to be counted out yet.
31:46Being told to keep it up.
31:48Back to the ropes he goes.
31:49These are important moments.
31:51He's only got seconds to hang on here to take it into round nine.
31:57Joyce is piling on the pressure here.
32:00Getting good left hook from Joyce.
32:02But Chisora again digs in deep.
32:06Coming back in the game.
32:08Huge character being shown.
32:10The crowd loving it.
32:11Everybody on their feet.
32:13The moment was there, though.
32:15Yeah, I mean, there was a chance that he was going to get rid.
32:19He'd done really, really well to stay inert, Derrick.
32:23But a much better round from Joe Joyce.
32:35What a fight.
32:41This one is everything it lived up to.
32:43Everything we thought it was going to be.
32:45At the moment, I've still got Chisora up by a round.
32:48Only by one.
32:49I gave him the first four.
32:50I gave a draw in the middle.
32:51In the last three rounds, I've been giving to Joe.
32:54I did wonder if Chisora was going to win the battle.
32:57But maybe Joyce will win the war.
32:59So these last few rounds are really telling.
33:02We'll see how this one turns out.
33:06It's close.
33:10Joyce's comeback has secured him, we believe, the last three rounds.
33:18Derrick looks hard again.
33:22Yeah, he's staggered.
33:23Joyce is over.
33:24He's got him pinned on the ropes again.
33:26He comes out swinging.
33:27He knows he can't stand there and just suck up all these punches.
33:31Joyce is going to unload on him.
33:35He's got to show incredible courage.
33:37Joe has to be so careful.
33:39Derrick's like a wounded animal.
33:41It's when he's at his most dangerous.
33:43A bit of Nigel Benn about him.
33:46Where he looks to be hurt.
33:47He looks to be almost out on his feet.
33:49And then he just throws something back.
33:51Extreme bravery.
33:53There's another good right hand that landed.
33:55But Joe just continues to march forward.
33:58Cutting the ring off.
33:59Backing him into the corner again.
34:04And there's not a lot coming back at the moment.
34:06He's doing just enough to try and fend him off.
34:09To keep him at distance.
34:10There's a long way to go in this round yet.
34:13And Joyce beginning to get more and more success as we creep to the midway point.
34:18In round nine.
34:22But again, just when you think the tank is empty.
34:26The tank has run dry.
34:27Cesaro is right back at him.
34:35What a blow!
34:37He's so brave.
34:45The defence has got there.
34:47But much better from Joe Joyce.
34:50He was a bit of a sitting target there.
34:52Joyce did not take full advantage.
34:56These are going to be four very long minutes that are left in this fight.
35:00Cesaro's got a big shot of winning this.
35:03If he can hang on.
35:04If he can avoid Joyce's...
35:12Joyce tears the deck again.
35:14That's been the threat all night.
35:16That has been the threat all night.
35:20He looks okay, Joe.
35:21Yeah, he's okay.
35:26What a moment he looked out on his feet, did Cesaro.
35:30But he's somehow summoned up from the depths.
35:33It looks like Cesaro is the one that's just been knocked out.
35:36That's crazy.
35:38Joyce, his career is hanging in the balance here.
35:48Half a minute to get right at this storm at Cesaro.
35:52Joyce is all over him.
36:00He's a little bit...
36:03He comes forward again, uses the ropes to get some leverage in there.
36:07And runs back into his corner.
36:10And listen to the reaction of the packed arena here.
36:15They know that he is three minutes away from a victory here.
36:20I think that's what they believe.
36:22That's what they believe.
36:23I mean, I don't know how I'm scoring this fight.
36:27I genuinely don't.
36:28But listen to the people around me.
36:29They have Priyanshuri Chisora a mile in front.
36:34I don't.
36:35I've been very, very close.
36:37And for me, it's probably who wins this last round, wins the fight.
36:43It'll be really interesting to see what happens.
36:45If the fight goes to points, who wins it, what the judges are seeing.
36:49I think the judges' scorecard could be all over the place.
36:59He's fighting, he's fighting, he's fighting.
37:02Two down, two to go.
37:25I honestly don't think I've ever seen a fighter as exhausted as Derek Chisora in this fight.
37:32But still, but still thrown back.
37:34It's madness.
38:01No time for artistry.
38:02No time for finesse, flair, perfection, virtuosity.
38:06He has got to dig up a punch from somewhere that is going to take Chisora out.
38:13Has he got it?
38:14We haven't really seen it all night.
38:20Joe Joyce has just got to be careful he doesn't walk into one of these overhand rights or less.
38:28And that's why Derek's so dangerous.
38:31No matter how exhausted he looks, he always booms it from somewhere just to throw it back.
38:45You can only wonder what is going through the mind of Joe Joyce, who was on the lips of everybody.
38:52We're looking forward to world title challenges as recently as, what, 18 months ago.
38:58How quick everything can change.
39:01And again, left hook.
39:05Well, this time you can see Joe Joyce just...
39:09And down he goes again, but that is not...
39:11That's a slip.
39:18I don't even know what he slipped on.
39:28Off the ropes again, another massive right hand on the left to follow it.
39:32Again, the crowd want more.
39:34Joyce is hanging on in here.
39:37He's just bothered him again.
39:41His career is heading the way it looks like here.
39:44Chisora summons up a performance, a vintage display.
39:51He's given absolutely everything.
39:55Nothing gives you greater pleasure than doing something that people told you you could never do.
40:02Everybody that had a view or an opinion gave Chisora absolutely no one.
40:10Great fight. Great fight.
40:13Even he's impressed.
40:15I don't know who won that. I do not know who won that fight.
40:19Are you serious?
40:20I do not know who won that fight.
40:23I mean, I think it's close. I think it's really close.
40:26Duric landed some good shots in each round, but there just wasn't enough of them.
40:31The volume was definitely coming from Joe Joyce.
40:35But the impactful shots were coming from Duric.
40:39I mean, we're looking at the stats. We've got the stats in front of us.
40:42Joe Joyce has outlanded Duric Chisora, according to the Jabber stats.
40:48High impact is almost identical.
40:52Joe Joyce is through more.
40:54But I could be a mail-off.
40:56I may get the sack in the morning. I don't know.
41:00Well, we will be seeing Joe Joyce.
41:08These are very tense moments. The master of fine art.
41:14The man who specialized in abstract oils.
41:18Picasso is as much a hero as Ali.
41:23What he produced out here tonight was not fine art.
41:26This wasn't a Matisse or a Picasso.
41:28Could this be that he turns out to be Andy Warhol?
41:33You're going to be famous for 15 minutes.
41:35Joe thinks he's won it.
41:37I mean, if you just have a look at both fighters,
41:39which fighter looks like the fighter that's just won a fight?
41:44Well, I think it's close.
41:47It's going to be close.
41:49It's going to be a tense few moments here for these guys waiting for this decision.
41:54If it is a victory for Duric, then we know what's going to happen next.
41:59If it is a defeat for Joe Joyce, where does he go?
42:04I think that's the end of the road for him. I really do.
42:08And I think it probably calls for that for Duric as well.
42:11Just because of the amount of wars that he's been in.
42:13The many top fights that he's been in.
42:15If he loses this, there's no way he's walking away after a performance like that.
42:19No, Duric has stated that he wants to have 50 fights.
42:22I think he talked about he wants to have a fight in Africa.
42:25So, no doubt he will.
42:41Well, we're close to getting the decision.
42:49One of his great quotes, Duric Chisora,
42:53is that boxing, getting knocked out, is better than losing on points.
43:00Well, yeah, if you go in your shield, I suppose, if you put it that way.
43:04I understand completely what he's saying.
43:11Ladies and gentlemen, after 10 hard-hitting rounds of boxing,
43:25we go to the judges' scorecards.
43:28Judge Kieran McCann scores it 97 to 92.
43:34And both judges, Victor Rocklin and Mark Bates,
43:39score it the same, 96 to 94.
43:43All in favor of your winner, by unanimous decision,
43:51Duric Wong Chisora!
43:58A sporting embrace at the end, but make no mistake,
44:02that was an absolutely gargantuan performance.
44:06From a man that just will not fade away.
