    Joyce avenges his robbery loss at the Olympics and retires, perfect way to end his turbulent career!

    Joyce has fallen off a cliff in his last few fights. I really have no idea who'd win this at this stage.

    Interesting fight if at the same time the winner and loser is basically done with boxing no matter what happens.

    Joyce is shot but we saw more from him against Hrgovic than we saw from Yoka against Yallyev in which he should have lost. Also, Joyce has had the better wins and career than Yoka clearly.

    Joyce wide points win. Then immediately retires avenging his Olympics final loss.

    Yoka confirmed that he would box on July 19, but he seemed unsure if it would be against Joyce.

    Joyce - even today's Joyce - will destroy Joka

    Joyce should overwhelm him easily, Yoka just sits there and takes punches, but in my opinion he's more shot than people realize. Yoka might actually win this just by being tall and using the ring. Joyce is so shot that it might come down to that

    I take it you missed the part about it being at Wembley? Yeah, I get it, Joyce hasn't gotten the benefit of the doubt with the scorecards lately, but Yoka unlike Hrgovic and CHisora, isn't an Eddie Hearn fighter or a national treasure.

    Yoka has no Power given his massive stature and is prone to getting beat up, Joyce takes this…

    Yoka has a super-fragile glass mandible while Joyce has a solid chin, still, and a decent punch. The outcime of this one is as close to a foregone conclusion as it gets in boxing.

    Joyce should win and I hope he retires after this. He really has nothing left, sadly I can see them trying to feed him to Itauma or having a winner stays on with Whyte.

    He won't retire. He'll definitely get big headed and will want to carry on. if he fights and beats Yoka then Whyte would be the smartest move. If he wins those two fights he could make a case really big domestic clashes. Chisora rematch, AJ or Dubois II regardless of the outcome against Usyk.

    I hope for Joyce but on the other hand I want him to retire.

    Unfortunately, you're probably right. After he pummels Yoka, I wouldn't mind a Whyte match. Chisora rematch maybe, but that's all I want to see.

    Yoka's lost four in a row no matter what the scorecards were last fight.
