Joe Joyce vs. Joe Hanks - 1 December 2018

[Ruthless-RKO]

BoxRec reports that Jarrett Hurd and Joe Joyce have opponents for their December 1st appearances on the Deontay Wilder-Tyson Fury undercard.

Isaac Lowe and Chris Arreola will box on the off TV card. Also - a "retired" boxer could be returning on this card, but I want to get confirmation first

Joe Hanks (23-2, 15 KO), whom BoxRec has ranked 119th among heavyweights, is 2-0 since a three-year layoff following consecutive losses to Andy Ruiz Jr. and Derric Rossy. He is one of only three people Rossy has beaten in his last 10 fights.

I do believe Washington would have been a much better test and best opponent to date.

He needs to really step it up if he's ging to be challenging for a world title by this time next year.

Think he retired.

It’s a fight. Polls are just there so we can see what everyone thinks.

Exactly. Polls make sense when there's at least a sense of the fight being competitive. For something like this it's an utterly pointless exercise.

Joyce, easy

Sh*t fight

Waste of time

Don’t be surprised when you see a vote for Hanks. Not saying I will. But you’ll be surprised.

Exactly.. Joyce is talking about facing all of these contenders and we are stuck with this.

Don't know if that's his fault though tbh. I think he wants to face better opposition but it must be hard to get these guys in the ring from a promotional perspective.

In all seriousness , what the fugg is this all about ?

I like Joyce but this is doing him no favours at all , a bit more American exposure but that's where it ends .

Would have preferred Washington. He’s with PBC too. Don’t see why it wasn’t made.

Aye true mate but I think his handlers are struggling to match him. They want big names but can't seem to entice them in to a fight. Wouldn't mind seeing him in with Dubois or Gorman.

Joyce is now rated #10 by the WBA anyone in the top 25 should want to raise their rating by attempting to beat him.

That rating is bullshít but it's the WBA so... That's beside the point though. i don't know how much attention is paid to the governing bodies ratings nowadays tbh. The WBA are a fuckin riot!

Joyce's team will have to shell out to get him better opponents. He's just starting out and the more established guys won't fancy taking him on unless they're weighed in financially. There's a few good domestic options but they fights will be just as hard to make!

I agree the WBA ratings are a joke. But none the less he is one of their contenders. And as old as he is he can't wait to make a move up the ratings.
His ream needs to put out serious money.
Or he can struggle for 4 or 5 years and be darned near 40 before he's a mandatory
