Former manager Joe Joyce has said his former boxer would ‘do a job’ with Anthony Joshua if the two British heavyweights ever met in the ring.
Sam Jones, who remains close to Joyce despite his transition from management to probellum, echoed what many fans are saying – Joe Joyce is a danger to anyone in his department.
‘The Juggernaut’ is having the most impressive victory of his career. 11th round goal by former world champion, Joseph Parkershows Joyce to have Foreman-esque powers combined with incredible punitive abilities and keep moving forward.
His next spot is anyone’s guess, but it’s hard to imagine other contenders lining up to face him. Thankfully for Joyce, that may not have happened. The WBO Interim title went to Parker, meaning he is now required for a hit on Oleksandr Usyk.
With the Ukrainian champion embroiled in undisputed negotiations in early 2023, another name mentioned for Joyce is Anthony Joshua. Jones, as expected, fantasizes about his former boxer. He sang his praises for Intu Boxing.
“What I always say about Joe Joyce, and I mean what I said – he will fight anyone… Now you just look at his CV, he will fight anyone. Who. If he was told he was fighting Anthony Joshua on the 17th [December] he’ll get there, no problem – and he’ll work with him too. “
“I always say, Joe Joyce, on his day, can be tough for any heavyweight on the planet. And I think people have finally seen what a destructive, big, horrible Joe Joyce is. He deserves all the credit in the world, because he really is one of the best guys you’ll ever meet and I enjoyed watching his last game. “
Joyce threw her name on Joshua’s rumored December 17 ring, however it never materialized for some reason. However, a match between two British heavyweights is certainly not out of the question for 2023 – and the burgeoning relationship between Queensbury Promotions and Matchroom Sport makes it more promising than ever.
Whatever Joyce does next, Jones’ words will likely come true – he will cause any problems for anyone.
