Joe Joyce fires "overtime" KO warning at Joseph Parker ahead of heavyweight clash

Joe Joyce has warned Joseph Parker he doesn't "get paid for overtime" as he seeks another KO victory next weekend.

The 'Juggernaut' will step in the ring with heavyweight rival Parker at the AO Arena in Manchester next Saturday night, as the pair battle to become WBO interim champion. A win for either man will be crucial in their title ambitions as they both look to put themselves in pole position to challenge unified champion Oleksandr Usyk for his titles next year.

Both Joyce and Parker have vowed to "smash" each other during social media videos as they prepare to fight for a world title shot. And the British star believes his test against Parker will be difficult after watching the New Zealander's performance against Derek Chisora last time out. "I think watching the Chisora fight he is quite powerful and has got a good chin as well," Joyce told Mirror Fighting ahead of the fight.
