In the bustling world of heavyweight boxing, where titans clash and dreams of glory are made and dashed within the confines of a ring, Joe Joyce is making a spirited push to be part of a major promotional battle. The buzz surrounding the upcoming Matchroom versus Queensberry event has intensified, and Joyce, a prominent figure in British boxing, is seeking to seize an unexpected opportunity to climb back into the title race.

Joyce’s career seemed to hit a snag following consecutive stoppage losses to Zhilei Zhang, derailing his trajectory towards the coveted heavyweight championship. However, a recent victory, albeit a less convincing one against Kash Ali, has reignited his aspirations. The forthcoming event on June 1st, featuring Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, is viewed by Joyce as a golden opportunity to reaffirm his status as a heavyweight contender.

Aiming for a Spot in Saudi Arabia

The anticipation for the Matchroom vs. Queensberry card is mounting, with the boxing world eagerly awaiting the announcement on April 15th. Amidst this, Joyce has openly expressed his desire to join the fray, particularly on such a grand stage as Saudi Arabia. “I’d love the chance to fight in Saudi Arabia if and when it is presented to me as it seems to be the place to fight at the moment. It’s where it seems to be happening now and I want to get in that heavyweight mix so it would be a great opportunity,” Joyce stated in an interview with Betway.

Possible Chisora Clash and More

Not content with just any bout, Joyce has called out Dillian Whyte for a high-stakes domestic showdown. “I would also like to fight Dillian Whyte. That would be a massive fight too, and it’s a fight people want to see. Styles make fights and I think our styles would gel well and it would be an entertaining fight for the fans,” Joyce remarked, underlining the potential for an explosive encounter.

Moreover, Joyce’s gaze is also set on Derek Chisora, adding another layer of intrigue to his campaign for inclusion. With two heavyweight fights already penciled in for the event, the addition of Joe Joyce could amplify the excitement and rivalry inherent in the Matchroom vs. Queensberry narrative.

Waiting Game

As the boxing community awaits the official announcement, Joe Joyce remains hopeful for what could be a pivotal moment in his career. His ambition to feature in one of the year’s most anticipated boxing cards highlights not only his determination to return to the top but also the dynamic and ever-evolving nature of the sport. Joyce’s potential participation could add a thrilling dimension to the Matchroom vs. Queensberry showdown, keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
