Joe Joyce has been backed by boxing promoter Lou DiBella to give Tyson Fury a harder fight than Oleksandr Usyk.
In the first quarter of next year, Fury and Usyk are expected to meet in the first undisputed heavyweight title fight since 1999. Fury has held the WBC belt since knocking out Deontay Wilder in their 2020 rematch whilst Usyk won the unified titles against Anthony Joshua last September and defended them against 'AJ' in their August rematch.
Joyce is waiting patiently for his world title shot but 'The Juggernaut' will likely have to let the undisputed clash between Fury and Usyk play out first. When asked by Seconds Out who gives Fury a tougher fight out of Joyce and Usyk, DiBella said, "Probably Joyce," before adding, "[Joyce] reminds me of the second coming of George Foreman. I consider that a great compliment.
