And that's why he should consider calling it a day. He was seen as bombproof until Zhang set about him.

If he won two on the bounce relatively convincingly, how much would he get in Saudi to fight Itauma?

I really wouldn't want to see it , been a good servant to the game and made a few quid , hang em up Joe ! .

He wants some of the Saudi money, can’t blame him, that’s why all these guys like Whyte hang around, it’s all about the money honey

not anywhere near the likes of usyk etc
and not really worth risking early onset of dementia or whatever the outcome tends to be of too many heavy blows to the head .
Look at all the ex rugby players now with serious health issues or early deaths

Whoever he beats at a low level he is not an attraction anymore, just like David Price disappeared from serious contention after the 2 losses to Thompson

What happened to the Yoka fight? Thought Frank signed Yoka to make the flight

I didnt watch the presser, but I saw somewhere on the socials that there was whispers of Joyce being fattened up for Okolie..

I worry for Joyce. I watched the Zhang KO again and that was a frightening bomb he took, plus all the rest of the considerable amount of punishment he has taken.

I think we all worry about Joe Joyce.
Yes the Zhang fights were brutal on the poor fella, but so was the Parker fight.
And yes I know Zhang is the heavy hitter compared to Parker, but the sheer volume of head shots Parker landed was sickening.
And it can be big shots that cause head trauma long term, but it can also be accumulated shots too.

Big fan of Joe. But worry for his health with the recent losses, fighting style and age.

Joyce needs to hang his gloves up

Thought it would be binned as he has the other fight booked now, if this ends in defeat or a cut etc then that's done with that

Right. Silly fight

This opponent is worse than Joyce's pro debut.

Presents very little risk, but at the same time anything can happen with a stray elbow or headbutt, and that's the Whyte fight screwed.

If he needs the confidence of beating Patrick Korte, he's in a bad place.

Joe will want to test a few things he's been working on. Earlier in the topic I suggested he should consider hanging them up. Fighting Dillian is easy money, so I'm happy to say I was wrong. Cash in, Joe!

What’s joe been working on? His head movement? His head can’t physically move it seems

His head moves plenty, side to side and backwards depending on how he is hit.

Lmao yes Zhang made his head move. Almost off his shoulders

This is so funny, Dillion Whyte teasing Joe Joyce about "buffering"

I'm interested in seeing what Joyce weighs for this fight.
