  • This bout is for the WBO International and WBC Silver Heavyweight titles… as opposed to Trevor Bryan, who before his loss was the WBA World Overweight Champion.

    • Joyce and Wilder would be an interesting matchup. Wilder’s speed would be a factor, but Joyce can deliver power punches once he gets close to Wilder.

      • I’m not saying Wilder technically sound, however, stylistically Wilder vs Joyce would be a massacre as I see it. Joyce would be ok’d within 2 rounds

        • Are you kidding me ? Daniel Dubois is a way better boxer than Wilder and hits hard too and he couldn’t hurt Joyce.

      • Unless the fighter is Tyson Fury, getting close to Wilder is not a good idea. His uppercut is brutal.

        On the other hand, I do not think this time off has been good for him. Maybe the time is right for Joyce.

  • Joyce looks in good shape at least, as usual. Hope Hammer somehow makes a good fight of it.

  • I have the feeling Joyce wasted the momentum of his victory over Dubois. While Dubois rejuvenated his boxing career and is a world champion now with very promising purses on the horizon, Joyce is getting older (36 now) and involved low profile fights, I guess time is running empty for him

    • He was supposed to be fighting Joseph Parker, but that fell out because Parker signed with a different promoter or something. That would have been good. Now it just seems like he’s just trying to keep busy until he gets his title shot – but like you said, he’s not getting any younger. He’ll be 37 in September.

    • Agree but i think they gave the fight to Hammer to stay active after the Parker fight fell off. To me it’s the right thing to do..
