Carlos Takam vs Joe Joyce Prediction

Undefeated Joy “Juggernaut” Joyce looks to continue his rise up the heavyweight ranks (#13) when he takes on the dangerous Carlos Takam (#24) in London this weekend. Joyce was eyeing a fight with Oleksandr Usyk, but the fight fell through once Fury vs Joshua fell apart.

In Takam, Joyce gets a tough competitor that is difficult to knock out. Takam gave heavyweight champion Joshua a great test in their 2017 bout, before being stopped in the 10th round. Takam is the gatekeeper in this bout, having faced everyone from Josuha, Povetkin, Chisora and Parker, losing all 4 fights. A victory for Joyce will put him in line for heavyweight super fights against the elite of the division as he has the backing of the UK fight fans.

• Atlanta United Sack Heinze

The key to victory for Joyce is establishing his jab, which allotted 79.6% of his total output in his last fight. In this same fight, Joyce averaged 10.7 landed jabs per round. By doing so he was able to get the knockout in the 10th round against opponent Daniel Dubois. A similar path to victory is needed for Joyce in this fight. Takam has stayed active winning his last 4 fights, 3 by unanimous decision and the other being a knockout.

Carlos Takam

“It’s going to be a big test for Joe Joyce”
“For me it’s not a test, because I’ve fought other people like [Alexander] Povetkin, [Anthony] Joshua, I’ve fought a lot of big names. So, for me it’s just to prove for my UK fans that I’m back and I’m a problem in that division.

Joe Joyce

“I have had tough tests throughout my career so why stop? This is a great fight. Takam brings an all-action fight and it is going to be a good one. I want to give the fans what they want to see. This will lead on to some better fights, but I am not overlooking him.”
