The 'Juggernaut' had been expected to square off in an eagerly-anticipated clash against former world champion Joseph Parker, before the New Zealander ...
But, he does do plenty of talking with his fists inside the ring, and that’s all that matters tonight. Ambomo, a 41-fight veteran, is short, compact, and stocky. Not a bad one for your first, being the IBF European lightweight championship. We turn our attention back to the undercard. Chamberlain is boxing well on the backfoot, landing that thumping left hand to the head almost at will. The Spaniard has some chin on him though, refusing to take a back-step. His legs buckle and he's in big trouble! Tete lands with another pair of jabs, with Cunningham yet to land anything at all as of yet. The South African is definitely the power puncher in there, and Cunningham's corner sensibly warn 'no mistakes' between rounds. It's only the chin of Vidal that's keeping this fight going. A body shot the final blow that ended it all. Hammer is down immediately in round four, with Joyce now in full control.
Oleksandr Usyk is the more recognised and legitimate WBA heavyweight champion, holding the "super" title as well as the WBO and IBF belts. But Dubois is now ...
So for Dubois to beat Trevor Bryan easily and get a version of the world title before me is very frustrating. And speaking with Mirror Fighting ahead of his ring return tonight against Christian Hammer, Joyce explained how he has found it difficult to watch his rival move through the ranks at a quicker pace despite his loss. But injuries and other issues have kept the London native on the sidelines, where he has been forced to witness Dubois rise up the ranks, and last month win a version of the heavyweight title.

Vidal is so tough. Vidal is backed onto the ropes and struggling. But the Doncaster southpaw has rebounded with seven wins on the spin and is now dreaming of a world title shot.

Every now and again, a fighter comes along that seems to be impossible to shift. In the heavyweight division there was George Chuvalo and Randall “Tex” Cobb ...
I was caught, went down, and I was caught again and went down again.” It is difficult to make a case for how he could win, though. “Those punches didn’t hurt that much,” Joyce said. “I’d prefer not to rely on my chin,” Joyce said. People catch me with punches and I seem to walk through them.” However, it is hard to imagine how Hammer can win, because even if he does land a lucky punch, the chances are it will just bounce off Joyce’s head.

Im at that level, ready for the world stage. British heavyweight Joe Joyce kept hopes of fights with Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua and even Tyson Fury ...
The visitor just beat that count, only for Joyce to fly back in and crack a left hook into the body that folded Hammer and stopped the fight in the fourth round. "I'm top level ready for the world stage. At the end of the session a left hook sweeping across didn't even connect cleanly but had enough behind it to put Hammer down. "Especially because I haven't fought for so long I have to warm into the fight." That would have all evaporated if he slipped up against Germany's Hammer.

Joe Joyce provided a timely reminder that he's a significant threat in the heavyweight division as he bludgeoned Christian Hammer in four rounds.
Joyce has worked himself into a superb position in the rankings, and now is the time for the unbeaten star to capitalise on his rating. He allowed Ambomo to land shots frequently, but the Bexley man did have some good moments, and that was enough to give him the verdict. Zolani Tete reminded people just how dangerous he is with a stunning fourth-round stoppage against Jason Cunningham. The latter had been riding an excellent wave with some impressive wins in recent times, but that counted for nothing as Tete dominated from the outset. In the third stanza, Joyce began to take over, and although the bout was less than ten minutes old, Hammer was visibly feeling the pace as he chose to rest on the ropes. Joe Joyce provided a timely reminder that he’s a significant threat in the heavyweight division as he bludgeoned Christian Hammer in four rounds. In the opening session, there were some concerns in Joyce’s corner as he failed to defend himself against Hammer’s onslaught.
Joe Joyce is still the top contender for one of the heavyweight titles following a straightforward fourth-round win over German veteran Christian Hammer.
“He was tough, game and he hit me with some shots early on… Hammer looked to counter the right hand over the jab in round two, and managed that with some success, but Joyce was applying a lot of the pressure and Hammer was starting to breathe heavily. The writing was on the wall and another body shot saw Hammer go down and out after 80 seconds of the round.
JOE JOYCE survived a close shave with Christian Hammer last night and can now try cutting down Anthony Joshua.The 36-year-old Putney Juggernaut sparke.
So I think he needs it.” “I think he needs the fight because he’s older. I don’t cuss him for it so he needs to just focus on himself.” “I definitely don’t have a chin like Joe Joyce and I definitely wouldn’t want to take the punches he takes either. “I have a big heart and engine and a good chin and I am ready for all comers. “I tend to take a few early shots until I warm into the fight and get my footwork and head movement going.

'Joe Joyce is very, very much in the mix. 'He got the cobwebs out of his system tonight. When the opportunity is presented, I'll get my body, my mind and boxing technique up to level.'

Joe Joyce should have few troubles when he returns to the ring on Saturday night, as our boxing expert Chris Oliver previews the BT Sport card.
Cunningham has fought as high as lightweight (135lb), so is the naturally bigger man and he is also the one with all the momentum in this fight. The bookies are struggling to split these two southpaws and it's 10/11 the pair in places, with this likely to come down to what Tete has left at the age of 34. He arrives on the back of a first-round stoppage over a journeyman in May, but quite how motivated the 34-year-old is these days is up for debate and Joyce will know he needs to make a statement to emerge with any credit at all. Cunningham has been around the block and paid his dues, so few would begrudge him finally getting his rewards from the sport thanks to a brilliant run of form in recent years. However, there are nine losses on his 36-fight ledger, and he has always come up short when tackling the top names in the division. Hammer was about as good as an opponent as promoter Frank Warren could have at short notice, but it still left the fans a little underwhelmed ahead of this BT Sport-televised show and the 16/1 about the visitor springing an upset here reflects that.
