    Joe Joyce ready to ‘bash up’ Anthony Joshua as Juggernaut names three dream fights after demolishing Joseph Parker

    by

    JOE JOYCE has listed three dream names for his next fight – with Anthony Joshua one man he wants to “bash up”.Brit heavyweight Joyce, 37, is in line for a shot at Oleksandr Usyk’s WBO world title after brutally knocking out Joseph Parker with a stunning left hook last weekend.

    And the Juggernaut has vowed he is not scared of anyone after extending his flawless record to 15-0.
    Joyce told Sunsport: “The dream next fight would probably be [Oleksandr] Usyk, or [Tyson] Fury, or [Anthony] Joshua.
    “There’s all the top names and they’re obviously great, exciting fights.
    “I’m at the top of the division now in the elite level, so I will fight anyone.”

    Joyce doesn’t believe a fight with unified heavyweight champ Usyk will come to fruition anytime soon, so he would love to come to blows with Joshua again.
    The Putney Juggernaut previously lost to AJ when the pair clashed as amateurs.
    He continued: “I don’t think Usyk’s going to fight me, he’s going to fight Fury first.
    “But yeah, the Joshua fight is one that I’d like to do.

    “I’d like to bash him up.”
    The 2016 Olympic silver medallist is also sceptical of a meeting with Tyson Fury, who says his December bout with Joshua is off after AJ missed the Gypsy King’s deadline to sign a contract offer.
    Joyce, who is eyeing a return in Spring 2023, said on WBC champ Fury: “He’s talking about wanting to fight me, but let’s see what happens because a lot of things change.
    “He’s saying one thing then another thing happens.

    It will take until the day before any potential fight between the pair for Joyce to fully believe a showdown with the Gypsy King will take place.
    The Juggernaut said: “Post weigh-in [then] I’ll believe we’re fighting.”

      Conor’s 26th birthday has fallen smack bang in the middle of the final training camp push, so dad Nigel tried to lighten the mood by bringing him some cake after some hard rounds with Felix Cash.
      But British boxing legend Nigel was left with globs of the chocolate gateaux on his nose after Conor pushed it into his face.
      Former WBC super-middleweight king Nigel brought the little cake out and sang Happy Birthday to his son.
      Conor said: “I can’t eat that, put it away. I’m 100 per cent [committed], mate. 100 per cent.”

      Nigel replied: “I’ll do it for you.”
      Conor blew out the candles before receiving a peck on the cheek from his old man – who he surprised by pushing the plate in his face.
      As the gym erupted in laughter, Nigel jokingly said: “F***ing hell.”
      Nigel saw the funny side of the prank as he made his way to the bathroom to wash his face.

      And he even took the time to try a dollop of the cake on his face, which he appeared to enjoy.
      Surging welterweight Benn will be fighting at nearly a stone heavier for his showdown with Eubank Jr – whom he’ll face at 157lbs.
      Conor’s old man suffered a ninth-round TKO defeat in his first clash with Eubank Sr in 1990 and fought “English” to a split draw in their rematch three years later.
      But he doesn’t feel under any pressure to avenge his father’s loss to his former bitter rival.

      He said: “I work extremely hard. I leave everything in the gym. I do as much as I can, I do the best I can.
      “Why have I got to feel the pressure? I’ve done this too many times, I’ve entertained too many times for this to now just go, all of a sudden, it’s going to make me crumble.”
      The hard-hitting Conor is confident of adding Eubank Jr’s name to his list of victims.
      He said: “I’m confident in beating any man. I work hard enough, I know what I’m made of, I know what I can do.

      The case was settled for $14m but there was no love lost between the two.

      A day later Tyson was remorseful and regretted his actions.
      He said: “That was me being immature, I shouldn’t have done that.

      The drink, only stocked in ASDA, is hugely popular with kids and teenagers – but now a school has banned it.
      KSI today shared an email from a headteacher of an unnamed school to its pupils, saying they will be punished if they’re caught with the £1.50 beverage.
      It reads: “Hi everyone,
      “Prime drinks are now a banned item. DO NOT bring them into school.
      “They will be confiscated if found or seen, and you will be sanctioned with a -3.
      “A reminder to you all that selling any items on school premises is not allowed and will lead to a suspension from school.”

      But KAI is already plotting his revenge – and claims he will be playing a prank them, as well as several other schools.
      To his 8.2million Twitter followers he wrote: “A school had the AUDACITY to ban Prime, leaving their students dehydrated.

      “To counter this blatant wrongdoing, we’ll be sending a truckload of Prime to this school and many other schools.

      The WBC belt holder has now said he wants to fight Joyce “one day” following his epic knockout win over Joseph Parker on the weekend.
      Fury warned that Joyce was “f***ing coming for everybody”.
      In the Instagram video, the boxer said: “I’ve had a lovely day of watching boxing, watching all the big fights and studying all the heavyweights, and I got to say, that big Joe Joyce, is the second best heavyweight in the world. Behind myself.
      “And on his day, given his moment, who knows if he could beat me or not. I think we’ll have to find out one of these days.

      “At the moment, I’m ruling the roost as I’m heavyweight champion and he’s not, but he’s f***ing coming for everybody, don’t you worry about that. Come on big Joe-ahh!”
      Fury’s next fight is against Manuel Charr in December after he and AJ’s camp failed to agree terms.
      The 34-year-old announced on Monday that he was pulling the plug on the fight after weeks of negotiations, to the disappointment of British boxing fans.

      But if Joyce were interested in Fury’s proposal, it could set up the prospect of another mouth-watering British battle next year.
      Joyce’s stock has risen after his 11th round knockout of Parker on Saturday night in Manchester.
      Fans and pundits have been considering what his next moves could be as he looks to make an assault on the biggest names in the heavyweight division.
      Oleksander Usyk, the WBA, IBF, WBO, IBO and The Ring title holder, is among those who Joyce may be hoping to target.
      Usyk has just come off the back of a second victory against Anthony Joshua last month.
      But Usyk will not be fighting again in 2022, and many fans will be hoping he is set to have a huge clash with Fury in 2023 if the pair can agree on terms.
      The Ukrainian said that Fury had wanted £500m for the fight, and jokingly labelled him a “lunatic”. More
