"He Could Put Coffee to Sleep" – Whyte on Whether Joyce is a Threat

British heavyweight Dillian Whyte (31-3, 21 KOs) isn’t convinced that his upcoming opponent, Joe Joyce (16-3, 15 KOs), has the power to stop him inside the distance. However, he did find one scenario where Joyce might actually put him to sleep.

Whyte: "Joe Joyce says he's going to knock me out on April 5—let’s see. He says he's putting me to sleep, but not by knockout. The guy is just boring as hell.

He's the only person I know who could put coffee to sleep. Boring as hell. Great fighter, but boring guy… I’m just here to fight. I’ve never claimed to be the best fighter in the world, but I show up to throw down. His main defense? Just keep punching until he gets tired.

Joe’s a good guy—you can’t hate Joe. I’ve been waiting for my shot, and the last few years have been tough. Now I’m ready to grab this opportunity with both hands."

The Whyte vs. Joyce showdown is scheduled for April 5, featuring a stacked undercard with Richard Riakporhe, Lawrence Okolie, and more.
