Carlos Takam has accused Joy Joyce of decisively keeping a check on him, which the Frenchman clearly didn’t like. Currently, on a four-fight win streak, Takam seems just one win away from entering the world title ride. While the upcoming matchup appears to be his ticket to that step, Takam has talked about being spied by Joe Joyce’s team.

According to several reports and claims, someone from Joyce’s team has been in Takam’s camp and has sent clips of his training to ‘Juggernaut’. However, it doesn’t seem to have enough proofs to find a place in a legal aspect. Nevertheless, Carlos Takam connected with Behind The Glove to express his disgust.

“I really don’t know why that happened. I really don’t know who was also. So, the thing is I just want to say is. If Sam Jones, like he said, he spy me or he knows how I fight, means that guy scare of me. Why they spy me if they don’t scare of me? I don’t want to go spy Joe Joyce because I don’t do that,” said Takam.

However, Joe Joyce hasn’t agreed to those allegations. The undefeated Britisher has claimed that he will solely focus on his fight and despite the intense matchup on board, none of the boxers have trash-talked to each other. Hence, all the bad blood might find its way into the ring.

Takam will come with much more experience to his side. Meanwhile, Joe Joyce is still fresh from a win over Daniel Dubois which has boosted his spot in the current championship ride. So, both men will possibly aim and shoot with bad intentions. On landing, either of them can go to sleep.
