BRITISH HEAVYWEIGHT boxer Joe Joyce backed Oleksandr Uzyk to win his rematch against Anthony Joshua. He also called out the Ukrainian fighter.
Joyce, a 2016 Olympic Silver medalist, hopes to fight the winner in the rematch to win the WBA, IBF and WBO titles.
Joshua was unable to overcome Usyk's challenge last September
Joyce, also known as Juggernaut believes that he can now defeat Usyk in a fight. This is after Usyk beat him in 2013 when they were amateur boxers.
Boxing Social was told by him that he would be returning with more skills. I have Ismael Salas, my coach, by my side to help me set the game plan and practice the skills.
"It was the first fight with Usyk that I didn't get Southpaw sparring. I believe that styles make fights, and I think I'll bang him up on the repeat.
Joshua, 32, won the belts back after a rematch with Andy Ruiz. Ruiz inflicted a shocking first professional loss on the Brit in 2019.

The judges ruled unanimously that he lost his titles again when he faced Usyk in September 2021.
Eddie Hearn says that although the rematch has been delayed due to broadcasting problems, it could still be announced sometime next week.
Joyce says that Joshua must make big changes to win the rematch. He stated, "I thought that as soon as the fight began with him and Usyk started, Usyk immediately went to work.
He knew how to beat Joshua, and it's possible to do it again now that he has. Joshua has to make some major changes.

I've stated on numerous occasions that he could have taken him out, roughed him up and walked him down to try to knock him out. He'll have to do that, I believe.
"I have been in the ring alongside Usyk, and I felt like my performance was better. [Derek] Chisora gave a fantastic performance against Usyk. It was much closer than the Joshua match.
"Unless Joshua does something completely different, I think it will repeat."
