Tale of the Tape

Fight Preview

Significant action in the heavyweight division is set for Saturday, April 5, 2025, as two stars who will be looking to get their careers back on track will lock horns.

Joe Joyce will have huge questions hanging over his credentials in the ring after suffering losses in three of his last four fights. A shock loss against Derek Chisora in his last bout raised eye-brows, but that ensures that there will be massive pressure on the Brit this weekend.

Joyce had been touted as a potential world championship contender back in 2022 after beating Joseph Parker via knockout in the eleventh round. At that stage, he had won all 15 of his professional bouts.

Hrgovic will also have questions to answer this weekend after losing the IBF interim heavyweight title last year. The Croatian’s loss was a stunning performance by Daniel Dubois, as he was stopped in the eighth round.

However, there is no shame in losing to the Brit, who is in line to challenge for the world title against Oleksandr Usyk. Hrgovic has won 17 of his 18 professional bouts, with 14 of his wins being secured via knockout.
