    It's subtle, but he is beginning to look his age.

    If you are unfamiliar with "old man skin" its when the skin starts to lose its elasticity and droop, Luis Ortiz has it and Joyce is in the early onset stages of it.

    I think considering his style, Joyce needs to really step on the gas, as in aiming for a world title shot within 12 months.

    Ortiz looks like he drank from the wrong cup in Indiana Jones and the last crusade.

    Looks like Joyce has potentially got a big fight next, if he sees to them then he’s in the mix.

    How many HW pro boxers have you seen with the ability to do a backflip in the ring? I think his skin is the least of his worries.

    Ye but how many can do that during the fight after getting sparked by a straight right?

    As long as Joyce and Dubois are matched well and Wilder loses his two fights against Fury, it is conceivable 7-8 of the top 10 HWs are Brits!
    Would only add more salt to the US.

    The back flip is impressive but he needs to hustle

    33 is usually the tail end of one's prime not prior to it.

    If his next fight is indeed a big(ish) fight he needs to go balls out on the pr, back it up with another solid win and then he’ll cash out against AJ...seems the obvious plan...

    If he gives a good enough account of himself he might get another big fight with another potential Joshua victim but either way he needs to move quickly...

    People with his style though, they usually have earlier and shorter primes
