Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce-Joseph Parker Set For September 24; Announcement Thursday In London

He did duck Joyce that actually happened months ago...

...a last chance saloon to get a title shot again .

Codswollop!!!

Parker never ducked Joyce nor is it his last chance at a title shot. There's way more people ducking Parker and less likely to ever get a title shot.

He's only 30. Plenty of time and gas in the tank.

It's not inconceivable that there's a trilogy of good money fights between these two.

Parker has the ability to win this, it just depends on his mentality. If he turns up and goes through the motions he will let Joyce out work him. If he turns up to win, he will land on that slow pinata all night long.

I know one thing they had to really reel Parker in fir this one I wonder what they offered ? Keep in mind Parker still sounds not very enthusiastic about it even if it does happen as though he dreads it this was his comment .

“Nothing confirmed. A few fights are being worked on at the minute including that one.”

Parker and Higgins have had way more energy expressing looking elsewhere as soon as it was canceled . Warren definitely wants it I don’t get that feeling the other way .

I think I'll take Parker's actual words over yours...

Parker has run out of options since the Whyte fight isn’t happening and knows it’s a last chance saloon to get a title shot again .

Last chance saloon? Joseph Parker is 30. Heck, Joe Joyce will be 37 when this fight happens.

The average age of everyone else in the HW Top 10 is nearly 36. The only half decent guys in the division younger than him are Dubois and Bakole.

Sort it out Champ.

Parker out for another payday he has no ambition to win

This is great news.

Props to both guys. I really believed Parker would duck Joyce.

Kronk Parker is for real!!!

Always had respect for Parker, and I've said many times he's an HW who will fight anyone, he stays busy, he travels, and he doesn't just sit around waiting for a title fight or big money fight.

Dubois and suspect Joyce is similar too, beginning from the time he took on Dubois, and if memory serves Dubois was the favourite.

Joyce might be trying to stay busy and relevant due to his late start in the game and I have a feeling if the right Parker turns up this could be a great fight.

Parker will need to get in, under, around, and past that jab.

Joyce will wear down and stop Parker. If I had to pick a round, I'd say Joyce gets Parker out of there in 10.

i bet my whole house that wont happen
