Croatian heavyweight Alain Babich (11-0, 10 KOs) spoke about the Briton Joe Joyce (15-0, 14 KOs).
“I sparred with Joe Joyce, and with him we spent almost 25 rounds in three days. I rate him above everyone I have sparred with, and I have sparred with everyone. He doesn't look like he has a super power punch, but he has very heavy hands, he's a heavy guy, and he has the same motor as me. He doesn't stop, even though he's twice my size, that's crazy.
I put Joyce at the top of my list of the top two heavyweights. The fight against Joe will be the most difficult for anyone. I think that Joshua is very brave, since he decided to fight Joyce. I think Joyce is a dark horse in the heavyweight division. He is the toughest opponent for everyone, including Usyk and Fury, but I think Joe is the guy to be afraid of.
I felt his strength, we had crazy rounds. I think I did well and maybe even pulled out a few rounds, but sparring is my game. In sparring, I’m even better than in fights, ”talkSPORT quotes Babich.
Recall that earlier Fury said that they were not interested in the fight with Joyce.
