Joe Joyce Wants Oleksandr Usyk Next, But Also Interested In Fury, Joshua, Whyte, and Wilder

Joe Joyce is hoping to fight Oleksandr Usyk next time out but is also interested in the other big names at heavyweight.

Joyce is coming off a KO win over Joseph Parker to win the interim WBO heavyweight title which sets him up for a massive fight next time out.

“Probably Usyk, because that would be for the title (WBO), and then Fury, AJ, Wilder — there are plenty of names — Dillian Whyte would be a good fight,” Joyce told Sky Sports. “Right now I just want to secure this world heavyweight champion[ship] and then either get more belts or be in bigger fights. And this is a great fight that kind of pushed me onto that next level. There are plenty of great fights out there for me. I didn’t have to fight Joseph Parker, but it then pushed me up to that next level.”

Of course, Joyce and Usyk fought as amateurs with Usyk winning the fight by decision. He believes that is the fight to make given he is the interim champ and Joyce is confident the rematch would go much different.

“This time I would be more prepared and have a proper training camp geared towards him. It’s over 12 rounds with smaller gloves and I’ve come a long way since then. It was a long time ago,” Joyce said. “It takes 10 years to reach sporting excellence. I’ve surpassed that and I’m still learning, so it would be a great fight over 12 rounds.”

Joe Joyce is now 15-0 and at 37-years-old he needs to make his title run now and it seems likely he will be fighting for a major heavyweight title next time out. In his career, he also holds notable wins over Daniel Dubois, Carlos Takam, Christian Hammer, and Bryant Jennings.
