Joe Joyce has given his view on Anthony Joshua as they prepare for their respective fights this summer. Joyce is the defending WBC Silver and WBO International heavyweight champion and fights against Christian Hammer next month, meanwhile, Joshua will have a rematch against Oleksandr Usyk in August.
Joyce could be lining up a world championship fight against either Tyson Fury or the winner of the rematch between Joshua and Usyk. Fury has been linked with a fight against the Olympic silver medallist by Bob Arum in recent days, but his opponent could well be Joshua and he has made some comments about AJ recently when speaking with the Sun.
Joyce said: “If by some miracle Joshua beats Usyk, he will have to face me or vacate the belt. His chin has gone and I don’t think his heart is fully in the game any more - he’s a businessman more interested in lecturing students.”
