The Briton is the official contender for the WBO belt owned by the Ukrainian
British boxer Joe Joyce (13-0, 12 KOs) said he would be interested in fighting the former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder. However, first of all, he is focused on competing for the WBO belt, which is owned by the Ukrainian. Oleksandr Usyk.
“The fight with Wilder would have been tough – I would have to be careful that he doesn’t nail me with his right hand. It would be an interesting fight, but now I am the interim WBO champion and my main goal is Oleksandr Usyk.”
Recall that Joyce knocked out Joseph Parker and became the interim WBO heavyweight champion. After defeating Parker, Joyce challenged Oleksandr Usyk to fight.
Earlier, Joyce said that he wants to take revenge from the Ukrainian for the defeat in the semi-professional World Series of Boxing (WSB), which he suffered in 2013.
