TYSON FURY picked Joe Joyce to be the 'best one out there' and challenge him for the throne. This surprise win was a surprise to his heavyweight counterparts.
Fury is currently the top dog in this division. He has knocked out Deontay wilder.
In 2018, Tyson Fury was outmatched by Joe Joyce
If Dillian Whyte defeats Otto Wallin October 30, he'll be next in line to win the Gypsy King's WBC title.
Fury is still keen to fight for the undisputed crown before 2022 ends, but he must wait for Anthony Joshua to face Oleksandr Usyk.
The unbeaten champion believes that Joyce, despite all the suspects underneath him is the best.
Sky Sports spoke to Frank Warren, his promoter. He said that Tyson was the best one out there. Tyson stated that he is the best out there.
Tyson agreed with this view. He can go all the way. Yes. He has a great ticker and a big heart.
He is strong, he walks forwards, and he is the Juggernaut. You know he will be difficult to get rid of with whomever he is.
He's tough. He's a fighter. He can punch."
Joyce, 35, appeared in line to face Usyk (34), for the WBO interim' title, while Joshua (32) was in talks with Fury (33) in the summer.
Wilder, 35 years old, won an arbitration case that allowed him to force through his contract trilogy fight with the Gypsy King.
After 11 thrilling rounds, he lost the title just weeks after Usyk defeated AJ of Tottenham's unified titles.
Joyce, who had sparred Fury in 2018, was unable to fight, but was placed as the WBO’s next mandatory challenger.
In July, he defeated veteran Carlos Takam, who was 40 years old, and he will now be patiently waiting in the heavyweight line-up.
His promoter, however, believes Joyce has a chance against Usyk. Usyk lost in the 2013 amateur World Series of Boxing Tournament.
Warren stated that Usyk and him would be great opponents. He could hurt Usyk because he is a large man.
"Could he beat Usyk?" Yes. It's something he likes and it is something I enjoy. He won't back down from Usyk. He would let his shots fly.
"It won’t be the little guy out-jabbing big man – that will not happen."
