Derek Chisora beats Joe Joyce and makes unlikely retirement claim after hugging Farage

Derek Chisora put on a show stopping display to beat Joe Joyce in style to win his final professional bout at the O2 Arena. In front of a star-studded crowd, featuring Nigel Farage and Oleksandr Usyk, Chisora rolled back the years to stun Joyce and most likely head into retirement in style.

Speed wasn't a factor for either fighter on Saturday night, with the pair of British bruisers looking slow and somewhat sluggish from the outset. Both men seemed to be more interested in throwing bombs from the outset than boxing and moving around the ring.

Despite coming into the fight as the heavy underdog, Chisora got the better of the early exchanges, and seemed to find a rhythm with the straight right hand, which he threw at will and connected with almost every time. Had it not been for Joyce's granite chin, the fight could well have been over before round five, such was Chisora's success.

Chisora's main point of success came in round nine, when he caught Joyce with a perfect shot to send him crashing to the canvas. Chisora timed his shot perfectly, with Joyce coming towards him, before taking a step back and unleashing a straight right hand straight on his opponent's chin.

Chisora continued to hurt Joyce in the final round and wasn't afraid to get on his bike and jog away from the now-desperate Joyce. Both men threw their arms up at the end of the fight - Joyce perhaps with some sort of faux confidence - before the scorecards were read out to confirm the unanimous decision win for 'War' Chisora.

After a quick cuddle with his friends Farage and Usyk, Chisora surprised everyone by confirming he wouldn't be walking away from the sport just yet, as he claimed he'd have two more fights. There had been some confusion over his future in the sport considering he'd declared this would be his final fight in London's O2 Arena, having fought there nine times during his career.

Speaking to TNT Sports, Chisora said: "I love you, London. I tell you what, things were off there. I had to dig deep. Joe's a good fighter but I knew I was going to drop him at some stage. I signed with Frank Warren and we went to York Hall, I think it's a good time to end my career with the man I started with. Thanks, Frank."

"I've got two fights left, I'm not retiring tonight, but this was my last London fight. I'll go to Manchester before the end of the year." In an awkward moment for TNT Sports, Chisora jokingly asked Joyce to come backstage and smoke marijuana with him, which was quickly brushed over by Joyce, who confirmed he wouldn't be retiring despite having lost his last two fights on the spin.
