Tyson Fury declares Joe Joyce is the second best heavyweight in the world

Tyson Fury has declared that Joe Joyce is the second best heavyweight in the world, overtaking Deontay Wilder in his official rankings.

The Manchester native was at ringside as he watched Joyce knock out his teammate Joseph Parker on Saturday night, and told fans that he had rewatched the fight since. He also checked out recent showings from other heavyweights on the fringes of the division's top table, including Filip Hrgovic and Zhilei Zhang, declaring Joyce the best of the bunch.

He also claimed there is a slight chance Joyce may be No.1, ahead of himself, and that the pair would have to find out by squaring off against one another in future. They are both signed to Frank Warren, whom he tagged in his video speculating on a potential bout between the pair.
