Heavyweight contender Joe Joyce believes he would "bang out" Oleksandr Usyk in a rematch of their 2013 World Series of Boxing meeting.
Unified world heavyweight champion Usyk will rematch Anthony Joshua this summer in Saudi Arabia, although the fight now appears to have been delayed by two weeks. And Joyce believes that should Usyk get through his first title defence, he would "bang out" the Ukrainian.
He has faced both Joshua and Usyk as a younger fighter, getting stopped within a round by the Watford native in his debut before later facing the current heavyweight champion in a World Series of Boxing bout. Usyk comfortably won a decision in that bout, but Joyce insists that it would be a different story this time around.
