Tyson Fury's sparring partner Alen Babic has claimed that the Gypsy King is NOT the best heavyweight in world boxing - instead handing that crown to fellow British star Joe Joyce. Fury is calling out Joe Joyce - how crazy is that? In my humble opinion Joe Joyce is the dark horse in the heavyweight division and the best heavyweight on the planet right now," Babic said. "I’ve sparred with Joyce and rate him very highly. And this Gypsy King is calling Joe Joyce out - he’s the only one. Nobody calls out Joe Joyce. That mentality of Fury is unbeatable.
Its the toughest fight out there for fury. Joyce will walk through fury's 'power' all night. I can see joyce smashing fury up, stopped on cuts before anyhthing is likely here too.
I'd be rooting for Fury but who knows how it would go it's one of those fights I couldn't really call until I saw them both in there.
Would be a great fight. Big fan of both fighters so would be difficult to call it, however right now I got to favour Fury.
If Dubois is another Fraudly Harrison and was able to go 50-50 with Joyce over 8 rounds as a 23 year old who'd never had a hard fight in 15 bouts (and not get concussed at any point despite absorbing 100+ jabs from Joyce) what does that say about Joyce? Why was long-armed mover Jennings able to give Joyce such a competitive fight over 12 rounds in Britain? Wlad came closer to shutting him out away from home, Ortiz and Rivas stopped him. Joyce looked great against 255 lbs Parker, no question. But Parker lost to Joshua, Whyte and in the view of about 50% in each of these fights, Ruiz, Hughie and Chisora 1. Fury on Joyce-Dubois pre-fight: “I have changed my mind on this fight a few times. I have sparred both lads and it’s a good fight. They both have qualities and they both have weaknesses. But, after really analysing the situation, I think Dubois gets him early. Dubois is younger, fresher, punches very hard and is on a real roll at the moment. If Joe can survive the early onslaught and take him into deep waters then he could win. Joe starts slow, is like a plodder and goes at one pace all the way through. If he gets into seven rounds he could do it by late stoppage." Ben Davison's view of Fury-Joyce (Davison oversaw sparring in 2017 and 2018) "Fury should be a big favourite" Joyce's view of Fury: "He's the best I've shared a ring with"
Sorry to break it to you all but joyce is an easy fight for Fury ... he's a slow big target who's pondersome, predictable and moves in straight lines.. he's just big and durable but in every area fury is superior to him.. it will be mildly competitive at best , Fury will tee off on him.. don't get me wrong it will be a nice win for Fury but I can't see Joyce winning
Fury outpoints him Needs to use his feet though and back to pulling punches to reserve stamina. You won't Kronk Joyce he'd beat Fury at his own game trying that Joyce will eat everything and do his own work.
I think Joyce gets clowned due to his lack of speed and head movement. Fury's long jab lands at will, as many times as he wants it to.
I've got Fury on points in a tough fight. Joyce is a tougher fight than Usyk for Fury. If Fury tries to brawl with Joyce he's in trouble, but I don't see him doing that.
