British heavyweight Joe Joyce may be 40 years old and coming off a seriously rough stretch where he’s lost four of his last five fights, but he believes he still has more to offer as he tells Sky Sports he thinks it would be a great idea for him to have a rematch with WBO champion Daniel Dubois, who he scored a win over back in 2020.
“It’s always an attractive option,” Joyce told Sky Sports. “Before I took Zhang, which was obviously a bad decision, I was WBO Interim [champion] off the back of beating
Dubois and Parker. So it’s just like a bit of a mistake that I’m going to rectify now.”
Before Joyce can even really lobby for a Dubois rematch, however, he’ll have to handle business against Artem Suslenkov and demonstrate he’s worthy of getting another fight of that magnitude.
Joyce says he’s learned much during his layoff over the past year, and anticipates demonstrating his growth in this particular outing and isn’t worried about any sort of rust as he’s been steadily been in the gym. Joyce is currently slated to appear on the undercard of Murat Gassiev vs Tony Yoka this July 11, and hopes a good showing can propel him back to world level.
