Difficult to say. Both have solid chins, don't see either getting KO'd in this fight. Both have no defence whatsoever to speak of really. I could maybe see Joyce scoring a knockdown but then again he's so slow and has power but not that much power. If Parker is 100% and wants it, I could see Parker getting a decision, but if he shows up like he did vs Chisora, then Joyce takes this with his dominant jab. If I had to bet, I'd say Joyce decision. I see Joyce probably winning because of his jab and maybe cracking a knockdown in there.
Parker would need to have that beautiful double jab pumping non stop, IMHO. Otherwise Big Joe drowns him.
Joe's already the mandatory. He could sit on his backside and just wait for the AJ/Usyk dust to clear, but he isn't a *****.
This would be a very good fight. I would be rooting for Joyce but its a tough fight to call. Explains why Parkers team have set a limit on the date for Chisora rematch and if its not on they would move on
It was decided before the Takam fight, he earned it by being undefeated and knocking out Daniel Dubois whom everyone in the Alphabet Empires was high on (the WBA still is). https://www.*******.com/frank-warre...andatory-challeger-joshua-usyk-winner--159259 https://www.skysports.com/boxing/ne...e-winner-staying-on-course-for-wbo-title-shot This has been discussed before and took five seconds on google to find out, btw.
