    I'm pretty sure I could retire if I had his winnings, but you never know what his circumstances are. He may have a lot of family members that are financially relying on him.

    Pretty sure his mother is registered 93% blind. Joe's been very protective of her, having been her carer when he was younger in a single-parent household. She's his number 1 fan I guess – they even did a documentary on her.

    Yeah, remember when Daniel Dubois was convinced by some idiot in his team to use her in the presser

    That backfired

    Styles make fights as we all know here.

    Taking the Zhang rematch terrible call, may of been what Joe wanted but he should of been steered away from it.

    His style is conducive to culmination damage and it's showing, time waits for no man JJ is 41 in a couple of weeks time and even his short term health by the time he hits 50 plus he's in for issues,sad.

    If Joyce made £5mil he would be lucky to see 40% of that after deductions and probably more like 30%. At the time of the Zhang fight he probably thought he was going all the way to the top so invested heavily in camp and splashed a bit on family and friends. The rematch would have soaked up a fair bit of that £1.5 million along with the attempted comeback against Chisora. When you see a purse figure remember a boxer only takes home a fraction of that. Even still, he should be smart enough to know that health comes first and there are other routes he could take like media, coaching or personal training. That suggests to me it's an ego thing as much as money, he wants to prove something to himself and others that he was a top boxer and go out on a high. I hope there is an intervention of some kind such as a job offer from one of the promoters, taking those Moscow fights he is in danger of ending up like Danny Williams being used as cannon fodder for up and coming Euro fighters on shows that are not so well regulated or insured.

    Joyce as clever with his money as he is on the mic.

    Zero excuses for not being financially secure.

    Well let's be honest here, mistake number one was allowing a chancer like Sam Jones to fast-talk him into becoming his manager and so on. It kind of sets a precedent for others to follow.
