Ever since his controversial 10th round TKO against Anthony Joshua in 2017, he has declared his displeasure over the outcome of that fight and believes he could have won in the last two rounds. By challenging Joyce for his WBC Silver and WBO International belts, Carlos Takam will hold enough leverage to secure a heavyweight unified title contention fight against the winner of the upcoming Anthony Joshua vs Oleksandr Usyk bout.
