Mr Nelson, if Hrgovic can't find anybody to fight him and it keeps going down that list.. and I know there are a lot of fighters to go through but.. Will Martin and yourself take the Hrgovic fight?
His promotional team should have organised a stay busy fight for him which he could have fought by now. How on Earth is Dubois back in action for a ranking fight before him? I get that it was a wait and see situation but why not have him stuck on a bill just in a case this situation occurred? He is 35 and has been inactive for 6 months after the biggest win of his career...bad management and bad planning. He will now need a warm up fight before he faces anyone of note. Why doesn’t he face Luis Ortiz or Dyllian Whyte in a big money PPV fight in 4-6 months? Who knows when he is getting a shot at a title, he needs to make money whilst he is still able to. It’s a short career. He can’t be sitting on the bench at 35 years old losing all the momentum from his biggest win!!!
Name the last time Frank and BT brought over and put up the money for a Whyte or Ortiz fight for any of the fighters he promotes.
I was thinking of a co-promotional event for his next "big fight" My main criticism is the lack of planning and them allowing a 35 year old to stay on the bench for 6 months. He should still have fought a fight against a nobody paying them 20k, to stay busy.
Oh I completely agree and wasn’t disagreeing with you. Just seems either Frank or BT don’t seem to want to drive and pay for big fights.
Think you are kind of on to something there. How would fury deal with total granite? Joyce isn't flashy or quick but goes about his business very well. It's a fair point
100% he will fight him, we’ve been offered the fight twice before and said yes and the reason the never fought wasn’t down to martin
I still stand by Joyce smashes wilder to bits said it years back still think it now Oh and it was laughed at way back then ain't to funny now
Problem is that Joyce isn’t that well known outside of boxing so not a big draw, his age is against him so no promoter is going to throw investment into him and also he’s too dangerous a fight for one of the younger contenders for a title. So he’s gonna find it tough to get his million pound fight or a shot at a big one himself. Having a creepy manager doesn’t help either, don’t like that Sam guy gives me the urge to slap him every time I hear him.
The problem Joyce has is he’s going to be #1 with the WBO but no mandatory to be called until 2023? he’s not going to want a risky fight when he’s in a great position so what on earth does he do? Also being #1 doesn’t make you mandatory, he will probably have to fight an eliminator, Joseph Parker and Andy Ruiz are in line
It’s ridiculous that Dubois is returning from a career threatening injury before Joyce even has a fight scheduled
And for an interim WBA title too, which Joyce should be fighting for tbh, not that the title means a lot, but still.....
