Heavyweight Joe Joyce (7-0-, 7 KO) needed less than one round to deal with Joe Hanks (23-3, 15 KO) in the opening battle of the PPV Wilder - Fury in Los Angeles. Invincible at the pro ranks Joyce, Olympic silver medalist, dominated the ring from the beginning, finally settling the fight in his favor with the left hook.
33-year-old Joyce is trained by Abel Sanchez, who recently declared willingness to fight Adam Kownacki. It was the sixth win for Joyce this year.
