Joe Joyce put on an enthralling performance against Carlos Takam. In what was his first big test in the heavyweight roster, the British boxer showed a lot of promise. As the fight began, Joyce used his jabs to check the distance between him and his adversary. This is predominantly why he was slow in the first couple of rounds. However, when he figured Takam’s fight style and approach, Joyce began his assault.

He had a stringent game plan, and that was to totally outclass the veteran Takam in every department. Consequently, ‘Juggernaut’ implemented his game plans in the finest possible way. He showed some extensive defensive skills, coupled with some high-class aggressive boxing.
Joyce ended this fight in round 6 with a staggering T/KO. This was his most special career win as it catapulted him into the eye-line of the elite heavyweights in the division. Unfortunately, as the heavyweight title picture is messed up, Joyce might not get his hands on the world title in 2021. This means he will have to share the ring with the likes of Joseph Parker, Derek Chisora, or even Daniel Dubois.
