What's next for Joe Joyce if he beats Christian Hammer?

If Joyce defeats Hammer on Saturday night, his attention should turn to the heavyweight title fight between Joshua and Usyk on August 20.

Both the Ukrainian and 'AJ' are looking to be involved in a huge undisputed clash against Tyson Fury if they win.

This may mean that the 'Juggernaut' will have to look at the likes of Dillian Whyte, Deontay Wilder, and Daniel Dubois for his next match. Additionally, he may watch the results of Andy Ruiz Jr. vs. Luis Ortiz and Derek Chisora vs. Kubrat Pulev.

Joe Joyce ultimately focusing on defeating his veteran opponent in his home country, but if he is victorious, he can begin to look for bigger fights against bigger names.
