Joe Joyce Reacts to Dillian Whyte Fight Cancellation

Joe Joyce (16-3, 15 KOs) has spoken out about the cancellation of his fight against fellow Brit Dillian Whyte (31-3, 21 KOs).

"It was a great fight, the momentum was building, we had the press conference. I was really looking forward to facing him, preparing for his style in sparring and training.

I was expecting an exciting fight, but unfortunately, Whyte pulled out due to a finger injury. I feel bad for him and the main card, but in the end, we’ve got a great replacement in Filip Hrgović," Joyce said.

Joyce will now face Filip Hrgović on April 5 at Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, UK.
