Joe fights Usyk then who knows… 2022, Joe against AJ or Fury? – Joe Joyce’s manager reveals the heavyweight’s future fight plans
Undefeated British Heavyweight Joe Joyce is hatching a plot to take on Oleksandr Usyk and beating him, so that he can probably be in pole position to take on the winner of Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury. The 35-year-old Brit is coming off a dominating victory over previously unbeaten Daniel Dubois.
Speaking of this, Joe Joyce’s manager Sam Jones, revealed that he believes Joyce can beat the high-flying Oleksandr Usyk and set up a lip smacking all Brit encounter against the winner of AJ-Fury.
“We were called delusional when we said that we would beat Dubois” – Joe Joyce’s manager
Speaking to Sky Sports, Sam Jones was quoted as saying, “Joe would fight the winner, why not? Joe has been on the Team GB squad, he’s an Olympic silver medallist. We want the biggest fights. If you’re not boxing to fight the best, then what’s the point? Joe has said it would be an honour to share the ring with Joshua or Fury. Whichever fight presents itself. We were called delusional when we said that we would beat Dubois. People said: ‘Dubois will win in one round’. But we got through and I believe he would beat Usyk as well.” [via Sky Sports]
Speaking of Joe Joyce’s title plans, Sam Jones said, “Joe wants big fights, he deserves it because he’s on that level now. He’s ranked No 5 with the WBC and No 2 with the WBO. Joe is on the verge of a world title shot. We think, and he thinks, that he is good enough to win a world title. Hopefully the WBO gets vacated, Joe fights Usyk then who knows? 2022, Joe against AJ or Fury.”
Can Joe Joyce live up to the expectations and light up the heavyweight division? Who do you think will be his next opponent?
