Hrgovic Could Replace Dillian Whyte Against Joe Joyce

British heavyweight Joe Joyce could face Filip Hrgovic on April 5 in Manchester, after his originally scheduled bout against Dillian Whyte was canceled due to injury.

Whyte has officially withdrawn, later revealing the details of his injury. As a result, Hrgovic is now being considered as a replacement opponent.

For Hrgovic, this fight would mark his return to the ring following a stoppage loss to Daniel Dubois. Meanwhile, Joyce is coming off a decision loss to Derek Chisora in his last bout.
