    Others have mentioned the same, really feel for Joyce as he’s lost out massively in all this situation. There’s nothing any promoter can/could do with him for now, he’s gotta sit and suffer and unfortunately isn’t getting any younger. Would love to see him win a title or get paid loads of money before he gets out of the game.

    No. The plan is to have him fighting on the same night in the UK on a BT show leading in to the BT PPV for Fury v Wilder.

    Saw someone say in twitter it is definetely Takam. Would be solid enough, no idea if the bloke is right or not

    Id much rather get behind a genuine dude like the juggernaut than conmen like fury and wilder.

    True but sadly, these days people like a trash talker and that's what sells tickets. Look at Dillian Whyte for instance.

    Joe needs to hire Billy Jo Saunders as his PR manager / official spokesman.

    people go on about Joyce’s age but conveniently forget the guy he just beat - Dubois - is not exactly getting any younger himself is he? Dubois is practically aging with each passing day, let’s not forget.

    What makes you say that? All reports I've read are saying they're in talks to fight Takam.

    Kabayel fought 12 rounds last week so it certainly won't be him.

    Could still be Usyk for the vacant belt. I have yet to see an announcement for AJ vs Usyk and i still think Joshua could duck him.
    I would have it as a genuine 50-50 and if AJ carn't stop Usyk he loses and i personally dont think he can stop him, but Usyk could get jobbed on the cards.
    Usyk is a very dangerous fight and they know it so i think the WBO could still end up in the bin with AJ ducking.
    I'm just as interested in Usyk vs Joyce though as i am AJ vs Usyk so for me i dont mind either way.
    Maybe not 24th of July though.

    Mental how I can't figure out how Joyce could even challenge for a mandatory spot, let alone an actual title.
