The 39-year-old Joyce (16-3) has lost three of his last four fights after looking virtually unstoppable as he steamed to a 15-0 pro record. Losses to Zhilei Zhang (twice) and Dereck Chisora have removed much of that early lustre, and ‘The Juggernaut’ must turn things around on Saturday night.
Hrgovic (17-1) was one of the division’s most feared fighters as he steamrollered to victory in his first 17 pro bouts. But a damaging stoppage loss by new IBF king Daniel Dubois last summer put his career at the crossroads as well.
A win is imperative for both men on Saturday, but only one can get it. Today is the latest step towards fight night – the weigh-in.
