One strange secret to Joe Joyce’s success has been revealed by a fellow British heavyweight. Joyce, 36, turned professional after winning silver at the 2016 Rio Olympics, and has since won all 13 of his professional bouts – with his last victory coming against former world title challenger Carlos Takam last July.
“He’s actually done a test, like a bone density test, and his bone density is six times a normal human being.”
Fisher isn’t the only British boxer to back Joyce, with former heavyweight David Price recently predicting he could give Usyk, the current WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO heavyweight champions, real problems.
“The only men I can see beating Uysk – some people might laugh at this – is obviously Tyson Fury because he has got an unconventional way of finding a way to win,” he said.
“It’s not textbook boxing which a well-schooled fighter can read, his unique in his fighting style, and the other person who has a similar way of fighting and you’ve got to have a great engine in Joe Joyce.
