Tyson Fury vs Joe Joyce eyed for October at Wembley

Fight won't happen.

The risk/reward ratio is too high in favour of risk for Fury to take this fight. Joyce is a very good fighter but he is less of a name to casuals than even Dillian Whyte who was a far easier fight. Joyce brings nothing to the table aside from being a good name to add to a resume: he's not a big name, he doesn't have a belt, and he would be the toughest matchup for Fury outside of Usyk (and maybe AJ).

Fury would have definitely taken a risky fight like this back in the day but now he's a mainstream celebrity and PPV star, it's business first, and Joe Joyce doesn't represent good business.

I would love to see this fight, but sorry to burst your bubble folks, it's never gonna happen.

 

Me gusta mucho, what a fight that could be. I think Joyce's relentless pressure combined with his ability to take a shot and power through it will make for one of if not the most difficult fight of Fury's career. I know he's slow and Fury will have the better of him early for sure, but Joyce will start to find him eventually and that's when this will become a very interesting fight.

 

Fury won't fight Joyce. Too risky.

Fury fights only low risk opponents.

 

He just said on Piers Morgan the he was looking for exhibitions and does not intend to fight again. I do not doubt he would come back for Usyk-Joshua if the money was right, but a low reward high risk guy like Joyce...I would be absolutely shocked.

 

Joyce would be a tune up fight for Fury, nothing more. In any case, what would it accomplish? There's no appeal (therefore money) to casuals, and not even a belt for Fury to pick up.

 

Wilders punching power isn’t exactly limited.So I don’t think you could’ve called those 3 fights ‘low risk’ fights.Fury was knocked down many times.Going to Germany to fight Klitschko for the heavyweight championship isn’t ‘low risk’ either.

 

Joyce beat Dubois.

 

Joyce`s jab would be a nightmare for Fury, hope this fight becomes reality.

 

I guess it is Arum's idea...

But he ducked Wlad twice for the rematch.

 

Now the stiff slow plodding robot Joe Joyce is too much for Fury .. U ppl never learn.. but if it helps you sleep believing that then all power to ya .. fk me LOL .. Joyce is suddenly the boogeyman apparently

 

Ye ducked a guy he already schooled in his own comfort zone (Germany) LOL.. sad *******

 

That would be tough night for Fury. I wouldn't write Joyce off.
