Joyce was pretty optimistic about fighting Oleksandr Usyk for the WBO title eliminator earlier this year- The winner among these two would have gotten his hands on the champ, Anthony Joshua. However, owing to a domino effect, this fight was one of many that fell through.
With that, Usyk directly got his opportunity to fight ‘AJ’, and Joyce was left in limbo. Now, ‘Juggernaut’ knows a fight and win will help him edge out the other contenders in the race.
