    If Joyce wins, surely there must be severe pressure from the fans on Frank Warren to make Fury Joyce next, since Fury will not be fighting Usyk next, and I don't expect the Joshua fight to get made.

    If he loses I predict a few suicides on here. If he wins? AJ or Wilder. Not even interested in any other style.

    Bit of shock maybe

    Dunno about suicides

    Joyce is currently my favourite boxer but as surprised as Id be if he lost, I wouldn't be "that" surprised

    Zhang can box and punch, it's his stamina that will lose him this fight imo

    I think you're right Wizbit. Joyce does not seem to fade at all.

    True. And Joyce would deserve the fight. Though I wouldn't give him much chance. Hope im wrong as id love Joe to win. Fury's boxing days are numbered. If he carries on long enough somebody beats him, but if Fury has one or two more fights Joe is likely to be one of them and he wont beat Fury.
    As good a fight as any but an underwhelming build up.

    Id say heart attacks rather than suicides mate. Unless it's Frank.
    Mind he'd still have Dubois unless he defects to Hearn. Then it might be suicide.

    Joyce has spent a lot of fight week talking about Hearn and Joshua and calling out for a fight against him. He should be applying pressure publicly on Frank Warren and Tyson Fury instead since they are on the same platform and it is looking likely Fury fights in the summer.

    Joyce deserves a lot of credit for taking this fight. PAPA Zhang beat hrgovic fair and square but they robbed him because hrgovic was Joshua’s next opponent until 258 ducked him to fight that fat little feather fisted cabbie who lost to whyteleafe instead.

    If Joyce gets through this he’s earned a shot at the big dog. Fury seems to want it too, although I don’t see when they make it if Fury is beating up the obese little Mexican who made Joshua QUIT, then USKY for that Saudi blood money in the winter. Fury Joyce in spring ‘24 for undisputed?

    Can’t wait for this fight. Can’t see it being anything but highly entertaining.

    If Joyce brutalises Zhang, then Fury will be nowhere to be found anytime soon unfortunately.

    Fury might have mentioned fighting Joyce but there's no way he will really want it.

    Joyce is one of the toughest fights out there and Fury prefers to take the easiest option
