Dillian Whyte (30-3, 20 KOs), who returned to the ring yesterday with an early win over Christian Hammer (27-11, 17 KOs), is still asserting his championship ambitions.
Another fight will take place on September 24 Joe Joyce (14-0, 13 KOs), ranked first in the WBO and WBC rankings. This was confirmed by the British promoter Frank Warren.
Undefeated British heavyweight Joe Joyce (14-0, 14 KOs) returned after a year-long break and scored an early victory in the fourth round over an experienced veteran Christian Hammer (27-10, 17 KOs) in the main event of the evening at the OVO arena in London.
Next Saturday in London Joe Joyce (13-0, 12 KOs) will face Christian Hammer (27-9, 17 KOs). The bet of their 12-round fight will be the belts of the WBC silver champion and the WBO international heavyweight champion. The day before, Joyce weighed in at 120.4 kg, and Hammer at 119.2 kg.
Frank Warren denied Bob Arum's information about negotiations to hold a fight between Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) and Joe Joyce (13-0, 12 KOs). According to the American promoter, such a match could take place in October at Wembley Stadium.
