Joe Joyce (15-0, 14 KOs) disappointed that he stands after Daniel Dubois And Philip Hrgovic in line for a heavyweight title fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

“It’s annoying,” the Juggernaut admitted in an interview with Sky Sports, which, as a mandatory challenger for Usyk according to the WBO version, has to wait for a decision to defend the belts of the other two versions owned by the Ukrainian - WBA and IBF.

“It annoys me that Dubois is ahead of me, as is Hrgovic. Unfortunately, I have no influence on this. I beat Dubois convincingly, but now he is ahead of me. This is only possible in boxing,” added Joyce, who will test Hrgovic’s latest opponent, Zhang Zhilei (24-1-1, 19 KOs), in London on Saturday.
