Comments Thread For: Joe Joyce vs. Lenroy Thomas Looms, May 5 At O2 Arena

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Joe Joyce will fight for his first title next month. Boxing Scene understands that the Olympic silver medallist, who was defeated by Tony Yoka at the super-heavyweight Games final in Rio back in 2016, is in line to face Lenroy Thomas. Joyce (3-0, 3 KOs) has long been touted as an addition to the undercard of Tony Bellew's heavyweight grudge rematch showdown against David Haye.

Didn't Joyce win Bronze?

No - it was silver. Should've been gold too, thought he won at least 2 rounds against Yoka. And I say that as a completely unbiased Brit... 😁

[_Rexy_]

My bad. Don't know why I thought he won Bronze all this time...

Looking forward to seeing the juggernaut in action again. This guy is something special

[Chrismart]

Not a bad card overall this one.

[Eff Pandas]

Interesting fight. Thomas shows some ring intelligence in there, but then again its against Dave Allen so take that for what you will, & Joyce is still massively green so another good one to see whats up with Joyce.

Random Q for anyone. What other HW's have been moved THIS quick, quicker or comparably quick in there career with so few pro fights?

Only guy coming to mind off the top of my head is Peter Rademacher who fought Patterson in his pro debut & had a pretty impressive resume overall (as far as names, not necessarily W's, think he lost all his biggest fights).

damn, gotta feel bad for the doncaster delahoya...he'll prolly never win the commonwealth now

[DougalDylan]

yep, I'm with you, its a shame as it should just be a throw away for Joyce and I think that would have meant something to the Rhino. I may have wanted that one more than Wilder / Joshua ;-)

Good luck to Joyce, good fight.
