ANTHONY JOSHUA PREDICTION
“Joyce can outwork him, if Dubois don’t stop Joyce early. If it’s an early fight I’d go Dubois because he’s a puncher,” the two-time world champ said.
“If Joyce outworks him I think it’ll be a late rounds stoppage or he’ll win on points because Joyce has really got a good engine.
“They’re just different styles. Dubois hasn’t got the engine Joyce has, and Joyce ain’t got the power Dubois has.
“But Joyce is more experienced, he’s basically an Olympic champion. A WSB fighter, he’s done a lot.”
