Via Charles Brun: Joe Joyce is confident he’ll fight for the world title with the winner of March’s undisputed heavyweight title fight between WBC champion Tyson Fury and IBF/WBA/WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) has told Joyce (15-0, 14 KOs) that he will fight him, but we’ll soon see if ‘King of Gypsy’ is serious. if he is the last man standing after his undisputed clash with Usyk in March.
34 years Fury is tailor-made for Joyce given the way he fights at this stage of his career, and this could be a similar win for ‘The Juggernaut’ as the one he produced against the two-time Olympic athlete Bakhodir Jalolov.
Before Joyce fought Jalalov, everyone talked about how great the Uzbek was, but Joe destroyed him. At this stage in Fury’s career, he’s not as good as Jalaov when Joyce knocked him out in 2016, and it could be a very easy fight for ‘Juggernaut’ next year when he meets the easy-hit Tyson .
Joyce hopes Fury keeps his word
“I hope Fury is the one who keeps his word and fight me next. Defeat Usyk and then fight me next,” Joe Joyce told Monday about his hopes Tyson Fury wasn’t joking when he said he wanted to defend his WBC belt against him in 2023.
Well, it wouldn’t be surprising if this writer Fury stripped of WBO . belt will beat Joyce next year if he successfully defeats Usyk to become the undisputed champion in early 2023.
Given the way Fury seems to focus on money fights, he’ll wake up and smell the coffee, knowing Joyce could ruin his ability to bring back the green.
Instead, it can be predicted that Fury will avoid Joyce and find a way to face Anthony Joshua in a big fight or fight former WBC champion Deontay Wilder in the fourth clash, which will also yield a big money for the Gypsy King.
“Yes, I believe so because I think it’s the next thing ordered or whatever happens; I’m going to top the group and be the heavyweight champion,” Joyce said when asked if he had Fury’s promoters at Queensbury telling him he would be next after the undisputed title fight. with Oleksandr Usyk or not.
It would be great if Fury fought Joyce, as it would be a great showdown for UK boxing fans. As I said, Fury made to order for Joyceand he will be blown out of the water like Jalalov did.
