    Will Stiverne be the toughest test for Joe Joyce so far? Albeit an ex world champion (and not one of tremendous note lol), he has had a long layoff and is now 40 years of age. Will he be able to test Joyce properly or do you think Joyce will walk through him like he did to Thomas?

    Depends how you judge it. On resume yes highest profile, but hasn’t looked good for years. Possibly Lenroy Thomas was a harder task.

    Completely depends if Stiverne comes in shape or not. Joyce will win either way.

    I see the fight much like when a novice Parker fought Francois Botha in his 6th fight. It's a nice name to have on your resume, as he's a former belt holder but let's be honest what you have in front of you is nothing more than a marketable name to pad your record with. I'd argue Lenroy Thomas was a tougher fight.
