By this time, the boxing world is well aware of Joe Joyce and his inevitable knockout power. After taking out the ‘young Mike Tyson’ Daniel Dubois in his last fight, ‘Juggernaut’ will now go against a veteran fighter Carlos Takam. However, Joyce is absolutely confident about vanquishing Takam on July 24.

While Carlos Takam comes with all the experience of fighting world champion boxers, Joyce has envisioned himself stopping the Frenchman within six rounds. That said Tyson Fury’s father John Fury had actually predicted to see Joyce claim a sixth-round stoppage victory over Carlos Takam. Joyce spoke with Boxing Social and reacted to John Fury’s prediction.

“Yeah I think that’s an accurate estimate,” said ‘Juggernaut’.

12-0 as a pro, Joe Joyce has achieved 11 of those wins via KO. However, he is yet to fight for the world title. A win over Takam might be his ticket to that status. Meanwhile, the heavyweight division is messed up at the point. Joyce was initially rumored to face Oleksandr Usyk in a WBO title eliminator, while Fury vs Joshua was in process of a unification battle.

However, a change in the unification clash saw Tyson Fury go against Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua against Oleksandr Usyk. While Joe Joyce was left without an opponent, Takam stepped up to fill the void. Despite not being a title matchup, the upcoming fight will still be important to Joyce’s upcoming journey.

Standing at 6’6”, Joyce will have an advantage of height in the fight. Besides, the London native has looked prominent in his last appearance. Although he is already a relevant name in the championship picture, one more test against Carlos Takam will seal his fate for good.

Nevertheless, Takam is currently on a four-fight win streak. After losing back-to-back against Anthony Joshua and Dereck Chisora, the 40-year-old has successfully found his winning ways. Although Joe Joyce would bring a sheer challenge in the ring, a shocking win will be extremely beneficial for Takam. Hence, the nearing collision would determine the fate of both the fighters.
