Takam holds an open training session before his fight with Joyce

Joe Joyce will risk his high world rankings and guaranteed future heavyweight title fight when he takes on  Carlos Takam at the SSE Arena in Wembley this Saturday, July 24th. For Joyce (12-0, 11 KOs), this will be the first bout since his tenth round victory over Daniel Dubois last November, when he won the vacant European title and took Dubois' UK and British Commonwealth titles.

A victory over former world title challenger Takam (39-5-1, 28 KOs) will cement Joe's status as the next mandatory WBO contender.
