Chisora shows up to weigh-in wearing a Zhang mask

At the weigh-in for tomorrow's heavyweight fight in London, Derek Chisora tried to get inside Joe Joyce's head. Chisora showed up wearing a Zhilei Zhang mask to remind Joyce of the two knockout losses Joyce suffered to Zhang in 2023. Eventually, the veteran warriors stepped on the scales, which registered 256.7 pounds for Chisora and 281.2 for Joyce. For his best fights, Joyce was generally in the 250s and 260s.
 
Joyce-Chisora plus the following two bouts will be streamed in the United States on ESPN+ at 3:30 p.m. ET/12:30 p.m. PT:
