Joe Joyce still gunning for Dereck Chisora

DAVID HAYE’S rivalry with Dereck Chisora is set to be reprised โ€“ in the shape of Hayeโ€™s protege Joe Joyce.

Olympic silver medallist Joyce won his second professional fight on Friday, demolishing Rudolf Jozic inside a round at York Hall.

Haye promotes Joyce and has history with Chisora, having beaten him at Upton Park in 2012 after an acrimonious build-up which saw the men fight at a press conference in Germany.


Haye has a heavyweight rematch against Tony Bellew at the O2 on May 5 and plans are now in place for his fighter to take on Chisora on the undercard.

โ€œGood news for British fight fans, Dereck Chisora shook Joe Joyceโ€™s hand a couple of weeks ago and said if the money was right.. myself and Eddie Hearn have put a financial package together for him to do it on May 5,โ€ Haye said on Twitter.

Haye lost to Bellew when they met last year, a ruptured Achilles hindering him, while a slated December rematch was called off when Haye injured his arm. They finally fight again in 11 weeks.
