The Joe Joyce vs. Derek Chisora predictions have been provided by Google's in-house AI, Gemini. The two Englishmen clash in a heavyweight bout this Saturday on July 27 in the O2 Arena in London, England. Moreover, their matchup serves as the headline attraction for a Queensberry Promotions event.
It will be streamed via ESPN+ at 2:00 PM E.T. (Eastern Time) / 11:00 AM P.T. (Pacific Time) for American fans and 7:00 PM B.S.T. (British Summer Time) via TNT Sports for viewers in the UK. The main event itself is expected to start at 5:00 PM E.T. / 2:00 PM P.T. in the United States, and 7:00 PM B.S.T. in the UK.
So, what does AI have to say about the matchup? Joyce and Chisora are close in age, with the former being 38 years old, with his 39th birthday awaiting him on Sep. 19. Meanwhile, Chisora is 40 years old, set to turn 41 on Dec. 29. This age difference, although minor, is taken into account by AI.

This is because Chisora's 'fighting age' is significantly greater. He has taken part in 47 boxing matches in 17 years. Meanwhile, Joyce has only fought 18 times in a career spanning just seven years. For this reason, AI predicts that Chisora's age will play a negative factor in the bout.
Furthermore, AI opines that Joyce's combination of power and skill, which led to 15 knockouts in 16 wins, will prove too much for a declining Chisora, who has lost four out of his last six fights, with his last loss being a tremendous beating against Tyson Fury for the WBC heavyweight title.
In short, Gemini holds that Chisora's age and decline will falter before Joyce's power, skill, and conditioning.
Joe Joyce vs. Derek Chisora is not for a world title, and neither man has ever fought for one
The Joe Joyce vs. Derek Chisora is devoid of a world championship glint. In fact, while both men have captured countless regional and continental titles, a true world championship belt from the WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBF has never been held by either fighter.
Only Joyce came closest, capturing the WBO interim heavyweight title in an 11th-round knockout of well-regarded boxer Joseph Parker. However, he lost the interim strap in his first title defense against Zhilei Zhang, who TKO'd him within six rounds.
