An interesting heavyweight beef between Anthony Joshua and Joe Joyce has erupted out of nowhere, which can actually materialize into an interesting matchup. Having lost his heavyweight titles to Usyk in September 2021, ‘AJ’ is now under the vicious clutches of criticisms. Meanwhile, Joe Joyce has added some more scratches by referring to Joshua’s current conditions.

Anthony Joshua was seemingly aligned to rematch Usyk for his lost belts. However, Oleksandr Usyk is currently serving his home country Ukraine amid some serious conflict with Russia. He has claimed to prioritize his national duties over defending the belts, which can urge Joshua to accept an interim fight before challenging the champion.

Amid several big names, Joe Joyce is a potential contender for ‘AJ’ and the ongoing social media banter validates that even better. The entire feud began when trainer Shane McGuinn backed ‘AJ’ to beat ‘Juggernaut’ if they ever collide. Joe Joyce took to Twitter and went all-off against McGuinn.

However, AJ can wait for his turn to challenge for the lost heavyweight titles directly. In that case, an interim fight against Joy Joyce will clearly be threatening, especially in the current condition. Having lost lopsidedly against Usyk, AJ cannot afford to lose again.
