    He looks more like 6 3 maybe 6 4 to me.

    I know the official result. Just one of the worst robberies ever.

    We can't see their feet on that pic. But if that's the actual difference Dubois looks like he's 6'0. Honestly, it looks like Joyce has 6 inches on him.

    EDIT: Nvm, I saw the video. He looks about 6'3. Joe Joyce is probably not 6'6. Never believe heights they give you, everyone lies about their height.

    Yeah I'd say Daniel is a legit 6'4 and if you held Warren's feet to the fire he'd admit that the 6'5 billing was 'in shoes'.

    Yeah it's mad how people lie about their height so readily. I'm legit 5'10 on the dot and regularly have had shorter men who've obviously lied to their girlfriends about their own height try to bump me up to 6ft so as not to look ridiculous.

    Yoka vs Joyce in the pro-ranks will end by KO. If Al Haymon thinks Joyce can beat Yoka, he will make the fight

    It's a tossup. I also believe Yoka is signed with Top Rank now and with the relationship Bob and Frank have and the history, it shouldn't be difficult to make.

    Haha, I know the feeling. You're thinking, this guy is no where near as tall as they think, but try not to embarrass them so you keep it to yourself.

    I love the culture of boxing you guys promote across the pond.. A lot of the promising prospects fight each just before getting to the championship level that produce good fights and long term rivalries. BJS vs Eubank, AJ vs Whyte, Degale vs Groves and now this fight..

    For some reason the prospects on our side never fight each other until far down the line. We have Garcia, Teo, Haney and Stevenson and I can guarantee despite trash talk neither of these guys are gonna fight each other for another 5 years.. Efe Ajagba will not be facing Jared Anderson anytime soon even thought they’re both signed to Top Rank.

    Joyce isn’t taller than Joshua. Joshua is just slightly under 6’6” or 198cm, so he has almost two inches on Joyce. Joyce often stands closer to the camera in a lot of pictures, so he looks taller than he is.

    Here is a picture with Joshua, Joyce, and Wach. Joyce being 6’4” isn’t dwarfed by either Joshua or Wach, but he’s clearly shorter than both.

    I heard Joyce has legit 8 inches. Dubois they say is a bit shorter, but a bit more girth. It's hard to tell from the photos. I need to see how they measure up to joshua side by side before I pick a winner.
