Great fight, looking forward to this.

So is this happening or will something/someone stop it from being made?

Good show Randall. Would any of you chaps tell me who the favorite might be? Thank you gentlemen.

Hell yeah! Lets see who is the real one

Great fight. Actually surprised it's happening though. I thought Joyce had his eye set on trying to get to world title level in a few fights.

That said, he has teamed up with Adam Booth. Maybe Booth felt it's a good fight for their first training camp.

Also, i didn't think Warren would go for this. He is keeping Gorman and Dubois apart, so i didn't think he would throw him in with Joyce.

Hope it happens. Still not sure it will.

No f#cking way. I don't know that I buy this.

Warren, Dubois or Joyce saying anything about it yet?

Seems like a no win situation for Joyce. Dubois can afford a L, but Joyce is on borrowed time already & honestly fighting Dubois is a massive step down after fighting a ex-title holder last time out. If Joyce wins he was supposed to beat the young less proven prospect & if he loses his career is virtually dead in the water. Sh^t man the more I think of it its damn near a death blow for Joyce's career if he loses. A L to Ortiz or Kownacki is much more forgivable right now than a L to Dubois.

Theres been a lot of following between Gorman and Matchroom Twitter accounts going on recently. Not sure what to make of it tbh. Whether Warren going to let him go over for a fight, or something more substantial. https://twitter.com/GormanBoxing/following

Great news! Credit to Frank Warren for risking Dubois.

Got a horrible feeling this fight still doesn’t happen though...

You & me both. Along with other's I'd assume.

Booth isn't thinking right then. Sh^t man go fight Travis Kaufman or something.

Also, i didn't think Warren would go for this. He is keeping Gorman and Dubois apart, so i didn't think he would throw him in with Joyce.

I think the move when you got two promising prospects is to keep them away from each other & ideally have them both win belts & then unify for max benefit much further down the line.

I know in the UK there is more crossroad fights earlier on in guys' careers, but both those guys have a good chance to go a ways I feel like so its the smart move to keep them away from each other.

Hope it happens. Still not sure it will.

Same. Interesting fight, but seems a lil too interesting & honestly like a dumb move by Team Joyce.
