Britain’s heavyweight Joe Joyce will overtake Daniel Dubois WBC rankings and then aim for Tyson Fury’s WBC world belt, according to his manager Sam Jones.
Joyce, 34, is facing Germany’s Michael Wallisch tonight behind closed doors before his highly-anticipated showdown with his fellow countrymen Daniel Dubois on October 24.
Joyce’s plan was outlined by Jones: “After the fight with Dubois, he will take a ranking in the top three with the WBC”.
“Hopefully he gets a world title fight but the belts will be occupied for at least a year if we are being realistic
“But Joe is prepared to fight anybody. The top two are Joshua and Fury and whoever has a belt, Joe will fight them.
“I think Joe’s preference would be Fury. It would be a privilege to share the ring with AJ or Fury but, stylistically, he would prefer Fury.”
Joyce has spared many rounds with both Joshua and Fury.
