Joe Joyce has confirmed that he will return to boxing despite recent rumours over the British boxing legend retiring.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joe Joyce Confirms Boxing Return Despite Retirement Rumours<\/h2>\n

Joyce was last seen in a decision defeat to Derek Chisora in July of this year and many questioned if that was his final appearance in the ring.<\/p>\n

The Juggernaut has been defeated three times in his career, losing to Chisora twice and Zhilei Zhang – with these defeats coming in his last four fights.<\/p>\n

Fans have called for the 39-year-old to retire but Joyce took to social media to say: \u201cCount Joe Joyce out at your peril.\u201d<\/p>\n

An opponent for his return has yet to be confirmed but there are several options for the veteran, including Lawrence Okolie<\/a> who beat Hussein Muhamed in the first round on his heavyweight debut.<\/p>\n

Okolie confirmed his interest in fighting Joyce if the offer made sense, with the two being team mates on the Olympic team.<\/p>\n

Richard Torrez, an undefeated US heavyweight, also called out the Juggernaut after the American stopped Issac Munoz Gutierrez last time out.<\/p>\n

Torrez said: \u201cI wouldn\u2019t turn it down. The one guy I\u2019ve always called out is Joe Joyce. That would be the only guy I would call out right now.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

As previously mentioned, Joyce has only been defeated by two fighters in his career but the damage and punishment from these bouts has taken some time of his boxing<\/a> journey.<\/p>\n

The Juggernaut is unlikely to fight for a world championship, with his best chance coming against Zhang – as a win would have put him within touching distance of a shot at a title.<\/p>\n

An exact return date is yet to be confirmed but Joyce announced that he is back in a training camp, with the 39-year-old set to return to the ring in 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
