His promoter shared a clip of Joyce’s post-fight talk. Joyce claimed, “Yeah, I believe so. With the right training camp and I’m there at the top level, so it’s just a matter of time. I’m ready and waiting.”

Interestingly, with this 4th round stoppage win, Joyce has convinced himself that he has reached the top level where boxing champs like Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury, and Oleksandr Usyk are standing.
