The war of words is underway.

Joe Joyce has vowed to end Derek Chisora's career ahead of their heavyweight fight. 

The two British operators meet at London's O2 Arena this Saturday, live on ESPN+ in the US (click here for more information), in a fight which carries huge implications. 

A win for either Joyce or Chisora would prolong their careers, while the loser may have to call time on their career inside the ring. 

Joyce, a former Olympian, still believes he has more to give, and is yet to challenge for a world title, and when speaking to TNT Sports ahead of his meeting with Chisora, he is expecting a tough contest whilst also aiming to bring an end to the 40-year-old's time as a boxer. 

"He’s going to bring war and bring excitement and unpredictability in the press conferences," Joyce said.

"So, you know what you're going to get. He's had a great career and I guess I should be ending it. I don't want it to go the distance, I don't think he does either.

“It’s 10 rounds so it's not 12, but I want to make a statement and then take that statement and go on further."
