    Can't stop thinking about Joyce-Wilder. The chin vs the punch. I mean that fight should definitely happen?

    It's certainly up there with fight I want to see at heavyweight. If Joyce can eat those punches then he will ruin Wilder

    It would be so surreal to watch.

    I honestly think Joyce would leave Wilder bewildered, he would respect Wilder's power but he'd handle enough of it before wearing him down. His strength and endurance is on another level.

    I really hope he can find his way to holding a belt, even though he started late. People like this guy and he always puts on a good show.

    I'd imagine Joyce will get his shot next summer. So it depends if he takes a fight in the interim. FWIW I think Tyson will vacate the belts he unifies so he's not tied down by mandatories. Joyce will probably fight Sanchez as they were 1 and 3 with the WBO last time I saw. Parker was 2 but I will assume he's going too drop places or the other wildcard could be Okolie stepping up from Cruiser.

    I'm not sure Chisora is deserving of another payday at that level, to be honest. Unless it's a keep busy fight for Joyce, to go from knocking out Parker to fighting Chisora would be very underwhelming.

    Chisora hasn’t been deserving of a 7 figure cheque in his entire career.

    I think Chisora said he may be done after the Parker fight, but wasn't in any way definite about it. He'll probably hang around to see if he can get the call to fight Joyce, or to fight Okolie when he moves up to Heavyweight.

    Joyce should go for yoka. Fight him in February and then world title fight in a stadium fight uk against fury or usyk winner.

    Bakole has dropped the stock of Yoka considerably. I would have loved to see the beatdown but he's now coming off a loss and will probably spend 2 or 3 years rebuilding now and Joyce doesn't have that kind of time.

    I understand what you are saying but I think Joyce would like to get his revenge and it's a fight he wins. Joyce can then go into a fight with fury or usyk. If it didn't happen next then as you say no point building it up. A lot of casual fans won't know that yoka lost to bakole because it wasn't on TV over here. It was just an idea of a time filling fight that Joyce would definitely be up for.

    Maybe Benn when he comes back from a 6 month ban and intense PED cycle…
