Joyce 3rd on The Ring

Joe Joyce (15-0, 14 KOs) moved up to third place in The Ring heavyweight rankings. In his last professional performance, the Briton knocked out Joseph Parker and won the interim WBO world title.

This year, the 37-year-old Briton also defeated Christian Hammer. It is possible that the WBO will soon appoint the Englishman as a mandatory contender for a fight for a full-fledged championship belt.
