Heavyweight Carlos Takam (39-5-1, 28 KOs) is gunning for Anthony Joshua once he has sorted out Joe Joyce (12-0, 11 KOs) at SSE Arena, London on July 24, live on BT Sport.
Carlos Takam: “The story between Joshua and me is not finished. There is unfinished business with Joshua. That fight still hurts me. I took that fight at ten days’ notice. The referee stopped the fight and I don’t know why. Nobody ever told me. I was also meant to fight Usyk twice, but it never happened and he didn’t want me.”
Joe Joyce: “I have had tough tests throughout my career so why stop? This is a great fight. Takam brings an all-action fight and it is going to be a good one. I want to give the fans what they want to see. This will lead on to some better fights, but I am not overlooking him.”
Joyce is about a 12:1 favorite.
Takam is a warrior who comes to fight. Loses or gets knocked out he rebounds and continues to fight because he truly loves the sport. A heart of a warrior indeed. But I think Joyce is just a little bit more patient and talented than Takam and will score a late round stoppage.
Agreed. Takam is simply talking smack of his far-stretched endeavors not really knowing Joyce will put a stop to the boxing journey he only dreams about. Easy fight to predict and analyze knowing Joyce comes out ahead.
Takam reminds me of a slightly bigger version of Jean-Marc Mormeck from a few years back.
As far as this fight goes, I agree on a late rounds stoppage for Joyce. Could resemble Joyce-Dubois
Excellent comparison: Takam to Jean-Marc Mormeck. Yes, I can see it myself. Have a great day.
think takam takes this one, takam is winning I’m pretty sure
No way. Joyce is an underrated beast.
Must say Joshua looked tired and relieved when the fight was stopped against Takam.
Like Takam, a real warrior. If Takam were younger it would be a good fight. The only chance he has in the early rounds before Joyce gets going.
Takam would’ve had a chance a few years ago but now UD or late stoppage victory for Joyce..
“The story between Joshua and me is not finished. There is unfinished business with Joshua. That fight still hurts me. I took that fight at ten days’ notice. The referee stopped the fight and I don’t know why”. Takam clearly not operating with a full deck of cards!!
