The undefeated British heavyweight boxer really wants to step into the ring against the Ukrainian.
Joe Joyce called Oleksandr Usyk. The undefeated British boxer has become a mandatory contender for one of the belts owned by Usyk and now needs the Ukrainian to enter the ring.
According to Joyce, he has forgotten the loss he suffered against Usyk in the semi-professionals and is ready to win.
“If Usyk doesn’t want to fight me, he should leave the belt, and then I will be the full champion and defend the title.
When Usyk and I first fought, I didn’t have enough experience. Then I didn’t do boxing for 10 years, I didn’t have normal sparring with left-handed fighters. But if I fight him now in the pros, it will be 12 rounds, smaller gloves, I will be more prepared for him.
I believe that after watching his second fight with Joshua, I will beat him more and do everything to make Usyk difficult. I’ve fought him before so I know what to expect. With a fight plan from Salas (Joyce’s trainer) and strategies to face the Ukrainian. I am aiming to knock out Usyk. Well, at least win,” Joyce was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
Remember that in 2013, Usyk already met Joyce and defeated the Briton in the framework of the semi-professional World Boxing Super Series.
After defeating Parker, Joyce became a contender for the WBO belt owned by Usyk.
