Set to take place on April 5th at the Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, boxing fans are in for a treat as heavyweight contenders Joe Joyce and Filip Hrgovic go head-to-head in a highly anticipated clash.
You can catch the Joyce vs. Hrgovic showdown live from anywhere in the world on DAZN.
Feeling out of the loop on what happened last time these contenders hit the ring? Here’s the lowdown: In June, Hrgovic faced his first professional defeat against Daniel Dubois, a match that ended early due to some nasty cuts. Meanwhile, Joyce met his match last July, losing a 10-round unanimous decision to Derek Chisora. Both fighters, once in positions to vie for mandatory spots, are now aiming to bounce back. Hrgovic, originally the IBF mandatory, lost that status when Dubois emerged victorious, eventually rising to IBF interim champion and then full champion after Usyk’s exit. Joyce himself, a former undefeated WBO mandatory, stumbled with consecutive losses to Zhilei Zhang and now finds himself having lost three out of his last five fights, including the one against Chisora.
For both fighters, this bout is crucial. A win could catapult the victor back into the spotlight, opening doors to big-time opportunities. However, for the one who doesn’t emerge victorious, a tough road of recovery and rebuilding looms ahead. It’s clear that the stakes are sky high for these boxers.
With so much on the line, who will reign supreme in the ring, Joyce or Hrgovic?
