Former WBO interim heavyweight champion Joe Joyce believes the lesson he taught Daniel Dubois has helped his former rival become the world champion he is today.
Dubois now holds the IBF heavyweight world title, which he will put on the line against Joseph Parker this Sunday.
Joyce says it will depend on the night, as both fighters have good momentum.
He says he is really excited to see who wins and knows it will be a great fight.
Joyce is rebuilding from defeats to Zhilei Zhang and Derek Chisora, but earlier in his professional career, the Olympic silver medallist beat both Dubois and Parker.
He was the architect of the lowest moment of Dubois' career when his hard straight punching fractured Dubois' eye socket, forcing him to his knees, where he stayed and was counted out.
Joyce is a British professional boxer. He held the World Boxing Organization (WBO) interim heavyweight title from 2022 to 2023.
At the regional level, he has held multiple heavyweight championships, including the Commonwealth title twice between 2018 and 2021, the British title from 2020 to 2022 and the European title from 2020 to 2021.
