    Heard it on this vid (timestamped), seems he has since clarified this as wrong in the pinned comment.

    "Pinned by HatmanStrikesBack:

    **Just to clarify: I'm not saying this was Joyce's last fight on his Queensbury contract. I've heard others say it, but I do not know what Joyce contractual status is. If you have any info on it, tell us in the comments**"

    I think usyk is possibly the hardest fight for Joyce in the division. Hes too slick and would just run rings around a slow joyce.

    Rather see Joe fight someone who holds his feet and trades. Joe boxed well against dubois but hes more exciting when he just beats people up.

    Would love to see wilder hit him flush to see if he can take it.

    Looks like he’s bound to fish eyes.

    If he wants a warm up before Usyk he could biff Dave Allen for a going away purse. Poor Dave needs a check.

    Realistically they will wait on what happens with the WBO title amd they will hope Joyce vs Usyk for the vacant WBO.

    If AJ doesnt get stripped or if the WBO choose Parker to be Usyk's opponent instead. I think Joyce will make a defence against either Takam or Yoka.

    A rest ffs he’s 35, his next fight after this needs to be for a world title.

    He's deserves a shot but needs to stay busy in the United states by fighting someone in the top ten.

    The United States is irrelevant. Joyce would make more fighting Chisora, Whyte, Joshua, Fury, even Hughie than any American bar Wilder for a few of them.

    No time to rest he needs to continue making noise in the division and pushing for a world title given his age.

    Not surprising. Frank's been around too long to put all the eggs in one basket if he can help it.

    We could be seeing a lot of Hearn and Warren on the same stage next year. :)

    Joyce does not beat Usyk.

    Joyce hasn’t got a chance against Usyk, he’s still too slow and it would go how the amateur fight went. I’d give Joyce a chance against a fair few heavyweights but Usyk isn’t one of them.

    Chisora landed plenty early doors against Usyk and I don't think Usyk looked all that comfortable. Joyce's engine might just allow him to keep the heat on him - that said Usyks speed of foot and agility was mind boggling at times but he certainly didn't have it his own way early doors against Del Boy and that makes me think some of the younger better condition heavy's might giving him a harder fight.

    Joyce needs anyone with a world ranking someone to keep the pressure on for a title shot. Ruiz would be interesting for sure, Parker i'd favor him to win. Whyte would be interesting. If for some reason Povetkin frees up that would be winnable as well.
