Joe Joyce has accused Anthony Joshua of letting his ego go after the pair recently traded fiery words over a potential fight.
The 'Juggernaut' has not fought since last July and was shortlisted by Joshua as a potential opponent for an interim fight if he was unable to rematch Oleksandr Usyk. Joshua then responded to a fan on Twitter who claimed he would "duck" a clash with Joyce which saw the pair trade verbal jabs on Twitter.
Joyce believes that the two-time heavyweight champion now views him as a threat after his recent rankings rise. "Over the years when I was on the Team GB squad, I wasn’t a threat to him," Joyce told The Metro. "As a pro, he was always up here, and I was down there, so it was the case of catching up. Now we are on the same level.
