Joe Joyce says he remains open to facing the top heavyweights in the sport, including Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder.

Heavyweight Hughie Fury had Patrick Korte rocking and reeling in the second round with a right hand, and as the heavyweight contender surged forwards throwing more of the same referee Reece Carter called the fight off.

It wasn’t pretty but Demsey McKean resumed his knockout ways in the end. The unbeaten Australian southpaw made the most of an awkward ring affair in his return home, taking out Germany’s Patrick Korte in the third round of their heavyweight scrap. A pair of left hands forced Korte to crash to the canvas, prompting a stoppage at 2:59 of round three in their DAZN-aired co-feature Saturday at South Bank Piazza in South Brisbane, Australia.

Don’t get him wrong; Demsey McKean is happy to help launch Matchroom Boxing’s debut in the Australian market. The opportunity comes, however, after having his name attached to several big fights, including one that seemed well within his reach elsewhere later this year.

Brock Jarvis posted a career heaviest weight for his fifth straight fight. It’s to be expected as the 24-year-old knockout artist will now fight in his seventh weight division in just seven years as a pro. Jarvis tipped the scales at 139 ¾ pounds for his domestic showdown with countryman Liam Paro atop Matchroom Boxing’s debut in the Australian market Saturday evening at South Bank Piazza in South Brisbane.
