Johnny Fisher on what it’s like to Spar Joyce
Johnny Fisher speaking in the ring with fellow heavyweight, Joe Joyce, confirms what fans have suspected – ‘The Juggernaut’ won’t stop no matter how hard you hit him.
With all the exercises done now, Joyce is ready to face Joseph Parker this weekend. In what is arguably the biggest test of his career so far, the British Olympic medalist has worked out everything in the gym – including hard training.
One person who can attest to this is Johnny Fisher – a burgeoning heavyweight boxer and soon to be Joyce’s competitive partner in a match against Parker. He confirmed to BT Sport that the legend of the Juggernaut’s chin is true.
“You hit him with all you got – and believe me, I hit him with some big and big shots – and he just resets, and walks and keeps going, going on. come and keep coming.”
“We always get the job done well, it’s stressful and I think that’s why Joe would love to have me back. Salas liked it because he knew I would bring some heat. I’m not afraid of getting stuck and sometimes you need a little bump, bump, hit the wall. “
‘The Romford Bull’, who is a fan favorite and has six wins from six, has continued to advise anyone intending to face Joyce to exercise their stamina – not for him thought that would help Parker arrive on Saturday night.
“When you play Joe Joyce, you have to be prepared to go 12 rounds because it goes very far if you beat him. That’s the only way – you have to beat him at a distance, and I don’t think that’s going to happen [on Saturday night.]”
Juggernaut by name, natural juggernaut. Joyce definitely fits the definition of a Huge, powerful and overwhelming force. His record in the ring tells us that, for the most part, if you can’t stop him, he will stop you. So far, no one has succeeded in their efforts. 14 wins with 13 coming in by knockout, even by heavyweight standards, is impressive.
What makes the fight so engaging is that Parker’s punch resistance is also appreciated. Though he has a few losses, he is never stopped in the distance, making this the personification of the phrase an unstoppable force upon encountering an immobile object.
The pair will face off this Saturday in Manchester for the WBO Interim Heavyweight Championshipstreamed live on BT Sports Box Office.
