    Doesn't really say much does it? Considering the fact that Hrgovic is bang average.

    Frank should be announcing that the winner of this gets Fury at Wembley this summer… after all Tyson did promise Joyce the fight if the Usyk one couldn’t be made. Tyson? Tyson? Tyson? You there?

    I don't see it happening unfortunately. All of the interviews this week have been mentioning Joshua. Dev Sahni even said Joshua "is clout chasing" using Joyce's name. I expect Joyce to stop the almost 40 year old Zhang in the mid-rounds and end up fighting an underwhelming opponent in the summer. He will likely not face Fury, Usyk or Joshua during his career.

    So true… if rumours are to be believed it’s
    Fury v Ruiz in Summer
    Fury v Usyk in December
    AJ v Wilder in December
    Winners meet each other in 2024
    Followed by a rematch in 2024

    Unless someones stripped, Joyce doesn’t get a sniff of a belt until late 2024 at the earliest

    It's hardly a glowing wrap. "Current landscape"

    AJ has the pick of any oppenent. Joyce doesn't. AJ wpuldnt have been fighting Joyce on the grounds he would lose.

    Yes, it's a shame.

    I really feel sorry for Joe Joyce who deserved better...

    If that happens it proves that people are scared to fight him and I don't mean that they're scared of the pain, punishment and hard night's work, they're scared of losing to him and what it will do to their careers. The reason Parker went in with him is that he had nothing to lose and all to gain, if he beats Joshua he finishes his career, if he beats Fury it would mentally destroy him. I don't think Usyk is scared of the fight and to be honest I think Wilder would take it but Wilder clearly wants a belt.

    The chances of that coming together in a sport like boxing is basically zero.

    Joyce weighed in very low at 256lbs, the lowest since he fought Bryant Jennings in July 2019.

    Mayer Linardatou could be off the card it looks like.

    How can the board only just realise Linardatou has that lens?

    She has had it her whole pro career

    Pity as that was a solid fight
