Lewis Richardson
GB middleweight
You canโt really write Joe off after what heโs achieved in both the amateurs and pros. His style isnโt the most pleasing on the eye but heโs so efficient and effective. My personal opinion is he wouldnโt beat the top heavyweights but he deserves his shot.

Olympic medallist
I donโt think Joe is there yet with only 12 pro fights but I think he will get there soon. Takam will be a proper test.

I think Joe Joyce will give Tyson Fury or Anthony Joshua a hard nightโs work with his work rate and size. I think both Tyson and AJ will be too experienced for him, both are great boxers technically and have been at top level for some time. Tyson and Joshua both edge hard-fought points victories.

Would I rule him out against any of them? Certainly not. Joyce is an Olympic silver medallist and has improved a lot since turning pro in 2016. Someone as skilled as Tyson Fury or has well drilled as Anthony Joshua may just be a step too far for him but Joyce would be in both fights thanks to his jab, engine and durability.
