Joyce vs Parker fight preview: what to expect from next month's fight
Undefeated 36-year-old Joyce has only fought 14 times as a professional, having spent much of his career in the amateur code. He competed as part of Team GB and won silver in the 2016 Olympics, losing out to France's Tony Yoka in the final.
Comparatively, Parker achieved slightly less as an amateur — though he was decorated — but has more than double Joyce's experience in the professional ring, with 30 wins and two losses to his name.
Parker has stopped 21 of those defeated opponents inside the distance, leaving him with an impressive 66% knockout ratio – albeit one that pales into insignificance next to Joyce's outstanding 93% ratio. Both men possess plenty of power then and a knockout could well happen in Manchester.

Stylistically, Joyce is known for his aggressive, hard-punching, come-forward boxing — whereas Parker has the capacity to be more elusive and box on the back foot when it suits him.
If Parker is to succeed against the aptly-named 'Juggernaut' Joe Joyce, he may have to box one of his more tactical fights, using angles and boxing on the back foot. Whether he'll be able to do so effectively enough to negate the Englishman's shocking power and immense fitness remains to be seen. Joyce is currently favourite to win the fight and we wouldn't be surprised to see him stop Parker in the later rounds, after a tough, competitive fight.
