Joe Joyce: record, next fight and profile →
Former heavyweight champion Joseph Parker would have no problem trading punches in a high stakes fight with Olympic silver medal winner Joe Joyce. Parker is ranked at number three by the WBO, with Joyce holding the number two position.
Olympic silver medal winner Joe Joyce will be ringside for Anthony Joshua’s mandatory fight with Oleksandr Usyk. Joshua will defend the IBF, WBA, IBO and WBO heavyweight titles against Usyk on September 25 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
'JUGGERNAUT' Joe Joyce has signed a multi-fight contract extension to continue his journey towards becoming world champion under the promotional banner of Queensberry.
Joe Joyce has been stripped of the EBU heavyweight title after refusing to take on mandatory challenger Marco Huck. Huck Box Promotions won the purse bids for the fight with an offer for 260,000 Euro but by then Joyce was already set to fight Carlos Takam.
Frank Warren, promoter for heavyweight puncher Daniel Dubois, is looking to have his boxer challenge WBA "regular" champion Trevor Bryan next. Earlier this week, Dubois' United States debut was officially announced.
WE HAD, QUITE literally, a banging night at Wembley’s SSE Arena last Saturday, with high skills, big bombs and true grit aplenty across a hugely entertaining evening. It was truly magical to have the fans back in big numbers and those that joined us at Wembley created such a special atmosphere in support of the fighters, who I am sure appreciated it, as did I. It was like a proper old school fight night all the way through, with the vast majority taking their seats early and enjoying every fight.
Joe Joyce was only a few months into his professional career when his name was linked to a fight with Derek Chisora. Now that fight could be on the horizon again. Chisora was at the SSE Arena, Wembley, on Saturday night to watch Joyce stop Carlos Takam and Joyce said he was open to the fight.
Joe Joyce didn’t hesitate when asked Saturday night what he wants next. “Well, what I want is AJ or Usyk,” Joyce said during a post-fight interview with BT Sport following his sixth-round stoppage of Carlos Takam at Wembley Arena in London.
Joe Joyce was honest. The big British heavyweight definitely felt some of those right hands Carlos Takam landed Saturday night. The 35-year-old Joyce, who is known for his iron chin, even acknowledged that Takam managed to hurt him slightly during an action-packed fight Joyce won by sixth-round technical knockout at Wembley Arena in London.
Frank Warren, promoter for Olympic silver medal winner Joe Joyce, is not convinced heavyweight veteran Derek Chisora would be willing to face his boxer. Chisora was ringside at Wembley Arena on Saturday night, as he watched Joyce stop world title challenger Carlos Takam in six rounds.
