Frank emptied the bank paying for that fight last night - I wouldn’t be surprised if he has to go on furlough for a few months.. There is no way that he would have put it on, without having at the very least 2 fights left with Joyce. 40 years in the game including working with Don King- he knows how to cover his arse.
Most fights made this year have been made with knowledge there would be no, or at best, a few fans. Now the vaccines are around the corner I think we might see fights get delayed until the summer. That will likely mean the wbo comes up for grabs. Joyce can't have too many fights left in him. Go for it v Uysk
That little Sam fella said to frank in the round table pre fight “you’re sorted whoever wins frank!” clearly implying Joyce is now with Warren.
Given his age and the stage he's reached now, I think they put him in with anyone. Usyk seems to be the name on there lips so possibly that's the next fight. He doesn't look easy on the eye but what he does is clearly very effective and he'll give anyone something to think about.
Usyk only happens if Joshua Fury happens. If no fans are allowed in or limited amounts then I don’t see Joshua Fury happening in 2021.
Valid point and I agree, well certainly not in the UK anyway.......... only thing is if the Saudi's pop up and throw there oil money at it so it takes place over there. Would be wrong though.... an all British undisputed heavyweight title fight taking place abroad.
You won’t get Joshua - Fury with a full house until the summer. Are the WBO giving them that long? Be a bit harsh on Usyk/Joyce I think, can’t hog the belts forever no matter who it is.
It would be a good excuse for Hearn to use but I highly doubt they take this abroad. Summer 2021 somewhere like Wembley with 80,000 fans at some hefty prices is my guess.
Frank already had the scorecards in place for a Dubois victory. One had him 7 rounds up!!!! It wouldn’t surprise me if he is now trying some panicked damage control by extending Joyce’s current deal., Sam Jones was raging at how Joe was treated throughout the past year and was straight on the phone to Eddie Saturday night.
Wasn't Huck supposed to fighting Joyce oringinally? I know Kabayel vacated as he wanted nothing to do with Joyce. Potential defences against either Yoka or Takam (both have called him out on social media)? I would favour Joyce in both.
Warren stated prior to the fight that Dubois was very close to making the Ring top 10 so I wonder if Ring will put Joyce in their top 10 now.
