Joyce made his pro debut in 2017. He has held the British, Commonwealth, WBC Silver, WBO International, and European heavyweight titles. In 2020, Joyce beat the young Daniel Dubois via KO after attacking his eye. His last fight was a TKO win against Christian Hammer in July, his fourth win in a row via some form of knockout.

If Joyce wins the interim WBO title, he is ready to fight for heavyweight gold for the first time in his career.

“I didn’t need to take this fight,” Joyce told talkSPORT. “But fans want to see it and it’s a great step up to cement me as an elite fighter. It won’t be strange when I call out Usyk next after I beat Parker.”
