Joe Joyce Back In Camp, Who Should He Fight Next?

Just saw on Joyce’s social media that he is back in training and wants to continue. Who should he target in his next 3 fights?

 

As they are all with Frank I could see him getting matched with Wardley or Okolie now he has moved up to heavy.

I always liked Joyce but I can't really see a rebuild job at his age and off thr back of his recent heavy defeats

 

I feel a bit sorry for him.

 

Joe found his level when he struggled with Kash. Feed him to Wardley or even have him as a tuneup for Dave Allen.

 

Joe Joyce looks very old. He posted a photo of him with Johnny Fisher only three years ago and he looks like a young 35/36 year old. Now he looks older than his age. I suspect that he had a tough time after the Zhang match behind closed doors, and he was also dealing with a break-up. He's looked like a shadow of his former self. His performance against Chisora was incredibly poor. Even in his eroded state he could've easily won that boxing smart behind his jab and picking his power shots.

 

Joyce v Wardley makes sense. A real crossroads fight.

 

I'm not a fan of suggesting this to boxers but I think he should leave it alone

 

It's a pity Joe missed out of the Saudi money.
After his wins over Dubios and Parker he certainly deserved it as much as a lot of the other heavyweights who cashed in over there.

I think he was badly advised to take both Zhang fights who was completely wrong for him.
He should have held off for better pay in Saudi and made a nest egg for his future

 

Always liked Joe but think can’t think of any European / World level heavyweights I’d pick him to beat now. Could definitely see Frank feeding him to Wardley & even Itauma.

 

Losing to Chisora, should have made him see the light. So unlucky not to have capitalised on the mother lode that his victims Dubois, Parker struck.
Hope he packs it in, rather than come to more harm.

 

Fight Tony Yoka , everyone's favourite punchbag, to get some confidence back then take it from there.

 

Got to be Chisora v Joyce 2 for Del Loot's 50th and final fight.

If he loses that fight then he will be on Joshua's radar for a win then onto a shot at a Vacant Paper Belt again.

Take the loot and run Joe even though the only time one will see Joyce run is when he sits on the pan after a dodgy ruby.

 

Very good and sensible advice.

 

Wach wouldn’t be a bad comeback opponent. He’d get some rounds in the bag and build confidence

 

Yoka is a good shout, the controversial Olympic ‘gold’ rematch would sell. Probably needs a soft touch even before facing Yoka though. Joyce needs to be kept away from big punchers now until he gets a big cash out fight.
