Joe Joyce is eyeing a showdown with Tyson Fury
Fury’s April bout with Oleksandr Usyk has been shelved
The 37-year-old Brit is then prepared to take on WBC heavyweight champ Fury, 34.
Talks between Fury and Usyk collapsed amid a row over the financials for a potential rematch.
The pair had agreed to an undisputed fight on April 29.
But while talks for that bout broke down, Joyce reckons a fight between him and Fury “would be very easy to set up”.
Both heavyweights are promoted by Frank Warren.
Speaking to the Daily Mail on fighting Fury, Joyce said: “Yeah I’m ready to step in.
“I’m scheduled to fight Zhang first – that’s a massive fight – so I’ll do that first. Fury said he wanted to face me if he didn’t fight Usyk. Of course I’ve go to beat up big Zhilei first.
“It would be very easy to set up. We’re both with Frank Warren.
“He’s already said he wants to fight me, it’s a great fight. People are interested in seeing that fight.”
Reports this weekend claim Joyce is the front runner to face Fury this summer.
Usyk meanwhile is poised to defend his WBA, WBO and IBF belts against WBA mandatory challenger Daniel Dubois.
Dubois, 25, is in line for a title shot before WBO interim fighter Joyce, despite the Juggernaut stopping Dubois in their 2021 showdown.
But a gracious Joyce said: “I’m not surprised by anything in boxing. I just get on with what I need to do and progress in my career and get the best out of it.
“I’m looking to be in some great fights this year and next year.
“It can be very frustrating at times, but things go on and fights happen, so let’s make the [Fury] fight happen. Please!”

Punching Techniques
There are seven types of punches available: Left Hook and Right Hook, Cross, Cross, Straight, Underhand, Overhand, Cross, Straight, Cross, Straight, Cross, Straight, and Overhand. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches need more power than others. For example, an uppercut requires great force. On the other hand, a straight punch requires less power but it is faster than other punches.
There are many combinations that can be used to punch. These are combinations of punches that work together to achieve a specific goal. One combination can have many parts. A left hook followed with a right-cross will cause injury to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
Boxers use their bodies to defend themselves against attack. He does this by using his legs, arms, elbows, hands, knees and feet.
Legs
Boxers should use their legs to defend against kicks. When he receives a kick, he raises his leg and moves away from the attacker. If the attack comes from the front, then he bends his knees to avoid being kicked on the side. But if the attack comes in the back, he will stand straight and block the kick using his foot.
Elbows
Because they cause great pain, elbow strikes are extremely effective. You can either deliver an elbow strike directly, or indirectly. Directly, you strike your opponent with your forearm. Indirectly, you hit him with another portion of your arm.
Hands
Boxers use both their hands and arms to prevent incoming blows. To do so, they raise their fists above their head and move them towards the direction of the attack. Then, they touch the attacker’s hand.
Knees
Boxers who are subject to a punch to their stomachs, abdomens, or chests should bend at the knees to absorb the impact. Knee strikes are often used for defense purposes.
Feet
Boxers should respond to being attacked by their opponent by standing back and delivering counter-attacks. This will help him gain distance from his opponent. Boxers should also keep their balance when counter-attacking.
Stances
Boxing effectively requires a boxer to have a good stance. His stance determines how he defends himself. It is how he positions himself and where he faces the opponent. Boxers can take many different stances. These are some of our most favorite:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
The Body Movement
In order to win a fight, a boxer must move around his opponent. This means changing your speed, position and rhythm.
Rotation
A boxer will rotate his arm when he is throwing a punch. You can rotate at different speeds depending upon the punch.
Combinations
The effectiveness of a combination depends on the timing of each individual punch. A combination is good if it starts with a strong punch then ends with a weaker one.
Spare parts
Sparring is a training session that improves boxing skills. A sparring session is where a boxer trains both his mind and his body. Sparring is a way to learn how to fight without getting hurt.
You need to have patience and dedication in order to learn how boxing works. To become a better fighter, you have to train hard and continue to work.
