Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce Stays Busy on July 2 in Wembley: Cunningham-Tete on Card

[joe strong]

What the article isn’t showing is Parker’s manager Higgins clearly said they are looking at other offers for Parker since they ducked basically. Parker’s excuse means he can’t box until after July or that makes him a liar . By that time I’m assuming a new opponent will be announced in June to set up a late 2022 fight and he won’t fight Joyce at all .

No the reason is Andy Lee who is Parker’s trainer is expecting a new born child fight week so he is unavailable until a further date & is why the fight is being moved. Warren, Higgins & multiple news outlets have already explained this. A simple google search will squash your “ducking” theories. Parker is also a promotional free agent who is looking for a multi-fight deal & he has no shortage of suitors. I suggest a google search “Parker vs Joyce”… Parker is still in the gym & just finished recent camp with Tyson Fury leading up to the Whyte fight. No trainer until later this summer & no promoter at the moment. He has made a lot of money so he isn’t in any rush to replace Andy Lee. I wouldn’t be surprised if Parker ends up signing with Warren…

Sanchez is a solid fight for Joyce. That's definitely not a sure win for either guy in my opinion

Sanchez is a tougher fight for Joyce than Parker would be IMO.

Solid card. Nice to see Johnson getting active again. Unsure when Yarde will be back though as I heard he was gonna be on this card. Hopefully the Joyce opponent is someone decent, obviously won’t be anyone too dangerous but should be at least a Christian Hammer, Mariusz Wach type. Avenging his amateur loss to Kuzmin would be a good choice.

Wach sounds like a perfect fit for this. Hammer, Kingpin, Demirezen & Charr all fight in Germany this Saturday. Kuzmin fights Lartey today. The opponent would have to be willing to fight on 6 weeks notice so I think there is not a lot of established HWs willing to step in with Joyce on short notice unless they substantially overpay. Wach, Kevin Johnson, Hammer or Forrest would be
the likely choices but Kingpin & Hammer have fights tomorrow. Maybe Iago Kiladze or Carlos Negron?

Hammer’s only having an 8 round tune up though, he’d definitely be ready for July 2nd as long as he doesn’t get cut.

I imagine it’s got to be somebody in or around that level.

**** that noise, fight Wilder.

Solid card, decent test for Johnson, Mikhalkin is a southpaw that can box a bit, but I'd guess Johnson finds him at some point with his heavy artillery. I agree that Kuzmin, Wach or Hammer would be good opponents at this stage

Wtf? I thought Joyce was fighting Parker NEXT in July?

[1Eriugenus]

I didn't see it was confirmed that Joyce would fight Frank Sanchez. If he doesn't, & I doubt he will, it is a very weak card IMO. Mikhalkin is adequate but, at his age & given his unfortunate inactivity, Johnson really needed something tougher. Time isn't on his side. Zolani Tete was at his best at 112 & 115. How competitive he'll be at 34 fighting at 122 has to be debatable. He looks like an old ex-champ fighting at 'walking-around weight'. The rest is competitive but on a small hall bill.

That’s nonsense a baby just doesn’t pop out of nowhere ,are we to believe Lee had no clue his wife was pregnant months ago ,did she not grow a little ?

This is a clear duck anyone logical knows this and know Parker used Joyce to stay in the boxing news otherwise he isn’t on national t.v a few weeks ago with Joyce saying the fight is basically a done deal until now they found out Lee isn’t available or isn’t accessible right we believe that one . The spider bite was actually believable .not so much the injury to get out of the Hrgovic fight but this one tops them all as a well thought out excuse way beforehand to not fight Joyce .
