"He's slow as fog. His next nickname should sound like Joe 'Fog' Joyce. He's very slow. I don't know how he's going to knock me out, but we'll see on Saturday. He's a good fighter, a gutsy man, just like me. It's definitely going to be a good fight.
He's 40 years old. 39? Okay, I didn't know that. If he's 39, he's young. I thought he was 40. But he's definitely not at the peak of his career, and fighters get older. It's just the way things are. I'm seven years younger, and I think that will play a role in our fight.
I took the fight on short notice. I only had a few weeks, but I was already in good shape. That's why I accepted the fight. I think it's a good opportunity for me. Hopefully a win will put me back on top. I'm looking forward to winning on Saturday when I knock him out and get back on top. That's my plan," Hrgovic said.
Recall that Hrgovic's fight with Joyce will take place on April 5 in Manchester, England.
