In an alternate universe, Joe Joyce is preparing for his next fight, the next biggest fight of his career, and is one of the biggest stars in the world.
In December 2022, he watched Tyson Fury knock out Derek Chirsora at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in his home city of London and ended up involved in a three-man face off alongside the Gypsy King and Oleksandr Usyk.
What had the potential to become a heated three-way rivalry was put on ice and will be taken off this Saturday. This time, though, it will involve two men rather than three, and the one missing out will be Joyce.
