Joe Joyce: 'I'd love to fight Deontay Wilder in Las Vegas'

Joe Joyce has revealed he’s more than willing to fight Deontay Wilder, should ‘The Bronze Bomber’ be brave enough to share the ring with him.

‘The Juggernaut’, 34, has discussed his plans for 2023 after overcoming Joseph Parker in September.

Joyce beat Parker in the 11th round at the AO Arena in Manchester, winning the WBO interim heavyweight title in the process.

Wilder, meanwhile, returned to winning ways in the United States last weekend with a first-round knockout of Robert Helenius.

Joyce was asked about his thoughts on a potential bout with Wilder and claimed he's more than willing to throw down with 'The Bronze Bomber'.

"That's a big fight. I'd love to fight him in Las Vegas," he exclusively told GIVEMESPORT.com.

"American fans know who I am. I train in Vegas. Obviously Wilder is also based in Vegas.

"It'd be an interesting fight to make down the line. He's obviously got phenomenal power. It's those kind of fantasy matchups that get everyone talking.

"It's a good feeling. I already knew my abilities like I always knew I would get there. And now I'm kind of here so there's plenty of great fights for me to be a part of."

Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk are also two names on the horizon for Joyce, given his place in the rankings.

If he had a choice, Joyce says he'd prefer to fight Fury. With that being said, he wouldn't complain either way.

"I think Fury is the bigger fight, but Usyk would be good too, he's very technical," he added.

"It would be good to fight him. Ideally I'd like to fight him in March. Or maybe fight someone
