“I feel Joshua and Joyce should combat, and with Usyk out of the image preventing for his nation in Ukraine, he’ll even have a semi-final to find out the very best on this planet.

“Joe’s obtained one thing to present as no 1 in WBO. Joshua does not have belts now, and Joyce has primary so there’s one thing for Joshua in there.

“So it is an ideal, mouth-watering combat that Joshua ought to combat, however sadly he will not.”
