Joe Joyce $40,000, Joe Hanks $50,000;

Can’t believe Hanks is being paid more here.

When Tyson was on his way up in the 80's they had to pay his opponents more than they deserved to get fights.
No one wanted to get knocked out for free

That's the under statement of the year.
I don't see this boogie man that some people paint him out to be.

Aye deffo agree there mate. I thought he looked great against Lewison (think that was his debut) but he's just been decent since then. To be fair to him, I think he wants bigger fights. Technically he's very good and he's very athletic for a big lump but he's really slow and his defence can be leaky. Tough as nails though and has a great engine so that formula means he could be in some right good fights if they get him good names! Could be an entertaining fighter! Guys like Chisora, Miller, Whyte, H.Fury, Breazealle etc ain't gonna fight him right now! He's got nothing to offer them so he's in a difficult position!

I think he's a bit long in the tooth, but, I think it may be a bit more competitive than people think (go longer). May be wrong about that, as I haven't seen alot of film of Joyce to really gauge.

Used to do interviews for ATGRADIO from 2010-2014. Podcast but for a time we were the #1 boxing show. The Brits literally used our 'Chisora/Scott' audio to sell the fight over there.
