Joe Joyce’s fight with Daniel Dubois will go ahead on Saturday, despite Ismael Salas, Joyce’s trainer, testing positive for COVID. Salas tested positive for the virus after arriving at the fight hotel in Westminster, having spent the past three weeks in Las Vegas. Joyce had trained with the Cuban in Nevada in February and March ahead of the fight’s original date and after being absent from Joyce’s camp for the fight with Michael Wallisch in April, Salas came over to England to train him. However, a prior commitment saw him travel back to Las Vegas at the end of October, only returning this week.
David Haye believes that Joe Joyce has to change his mindset and tighten up his defence if he is going to beat Daniel Dubois on Saturday night. Haye, the former WBA heavyweight champion, signed Joyce to his promotional company when he turned professional after winning silver at the Rio Olympics. In that time he saw him spar many times, but his disregard for the other fighter’s power he says will catch up with him, although he hopes that returning to train with Ismael Salas will make a difference.
Former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk will push hard for his WBO mandatory crack at the heavyweight title. Last month, Usyk returned to the ring in his second fight in the heavyweight division - and won a very tough twelve round unanimous decision over veteran Derek Chisora.
According to manager Sam Jones, Olympic silver medal winner Joe Joyce is hoping to secure the biggest prize possible if he defeats division rival Daniel Dubois on Saturday night. The contest will take place with the British, European and Commonwealth titles on the line.
