One boxer is close to the end.

Derek Chisora’s battle with Joe Joyce this Saturday night will be the final fight of the London man’s career.  

The former world title challenger will face the 2016 Olympian at the O2 Arena, and regardless of the result, the Daily Mail are reporting the contest will be his final bout. 

Chisora turned professional in 2007 after success in the ABA championships and he was seen as a future champion by many within the sport.  

After securing British honours, Chisora looked to push on but his runs at world level sometimes seen him fall short against elite opposition. 

During a lengthy career that has spanned almost two decades, Chisora has shared the ring David Haye, Tyson Fury, Vitali Klitschko, and Dillian Whyte.  

He will be hoping to go out with a win against Joyce this weekend.
