Joe Joyce recently described his experience of sparring Stiverne as surprisingly easy and unimpressive. In a direct response last night, Stiverne explained that he was aware Joyce was sparring Breazeale during the same period, without informing Stiverne in advance, so he severely restricted his punch output during their sparring sessions as there was a risk Joyce may in fact disclose strategic and tactical information to Team Breazeale. Joyce intermittently sparring both Stiverne and Breazeale occurred only weeks ago when Stiverne vs Breazeale was the scheduled fight before Stiverne had the opportunity to upgrade his opponent to Wilder.

@ 4:40 - Stiverne goes into some detail about events
surrounding the Joyce sparring
@ 19:30 "Wilder is going to pay for everything he said. He's vulnerable to a lot of things".
@23:45 "I did 12 rounds with Wilder, at his best, he threw everything at me and I never took a knee or lay on my back. I know Wilder, his power, I know everything about him. He used the fact he beat me to not fight me again but him and I know the truth - I can tell when someone is nervous or scared!"
@ 29:00 "Joyce is too tight, he doesn't move in a relaxed and loose manner. He needs to work on his power."
@ 32:30 "I asked Joyce's trainer to put his phone down, it blew up into an argument so I had to say either I leave or you leave. I was being considerate towards Joyce during our initial sparring because he told me he had a fight in a few weeks. "
@40:00 "Joshua is THE Man right now... Other than ME!"
