JOE JOYCE will be back in action TONIGHT against Christian Hammer, a German veteran.
This heavyweight fight is part of a blockbuster fight evening that also features Jason Cunningham and Zolani Tete.
Joseph Parker, 36, was expected to face Juggernaut this September. However, Sky Sports has since joined Sky Sports and the Kiwi has withdrawn.
After a disappointing year, the 13-0 Brit was unable to compete due to a broken arm. However, he will be back in action against Hammer, a respected Romanian-born player.
The 34-year old has a strong fight record, having fought Tyson Fury and Alexander Povetkin among others.
He was most recently accompanied by WBO number three Frank Sanchez.

"He has fought everyone, it will be a good fight. He comes forward and it's going to be exciting.
"It is one to get ready for the next fights.
