Joe Joyce believes that the “lesson” he taught Daniel Dubois taught his former rival the world champion he is today.
Dubois is now holding the IBF World Championship title in heavyweight heavyweight title, which he against Joseph Parker in the Riad season Bill, live on Sky Sports Box Office.
“I am happy to see this. Obviously the best man win. I shared the ring with both. I think I either lie on points or dubois knockout,” said Joyce to Parker Sky Sports News.
“It depends on the night. You both have good dynamics. So I’m really excited to see who wins. I’m not sure who, but I think it’s a great fight.”
Joyce converted from defeats to Zhoei Zhang and Derek Chisora, but earlier in his professional career, the Olympic silver medalist beat both Dubois and Parker.
He was the architect of the lowest moment of career by Dubois, when his hard, straight dubois’ eye socket forced him to his knees, where he stayed and was counted.
“It was a lesson for him and he is a good fighter and he came back stronger and was in some good fights. But it also has Parker. And he is young.
Dillian Whyte, who ended Joyce Boxen in April, came with Parker with a win in 2018.
“Parkers very smart. He has quick hands. He is doing well,” remarked Whyte.
“If I were a betting man, I would bet dubois,” he said to Sky Sports News. “Parker’s experience and he was on a great run. But both were on a great run.
“If the fight goes long, Parker could possibly think about it or stop it late. The fights in which we have dubois for a long time, he had problems.
“We saw parkers in several long fights. Fighting with AJ, fighting with me, we saw him in long fights and he is doing in long fights. He only has to be careful and not caught as he did Has Zhang and something like that against Dubois.
Parker can be dangerous. Whyte white – Parker dropped him into her 12th and last round.
“His box -iq is pretty good and he does little things in which they don’t see it until it is too late. I went to the right hand against me. And hurt him, “said Whyte.
“He has a very good selection and it also has good resilience.”
