Joe Joyce has big plans for 2025 despite his poor run of form. 

Joyce is coming off a loss against Derek Chisora. He only has one win in his last four bouts. That was a victory against Kash Ali, which was accompanied by two KO losses to Zhilei Zhang and the Chisora loss. The 39-year-old was the WBO Interim Heavyweight Champion, making him mandatory for the winner of Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk before the first Zhang loss. But a world title shot is no closer, leaving questions over his next fight.

Joyce arguably could target a domestic fight against Fabio Wardley. Alternatively, he could pursue rematches against Joseph Parker or Daniel Dubois. Joyce beat both of them, setting the narrative for the two to run things back. Dubois will face Parker on February 22 in a defense of his IBF Heavyweight Title. But Joyce may struggle to get that fight as the winner will be in a position to face either Usyk or Fury for undisputed. Either way, Joyce has no plans to retire. 

“I’m not done yet. I’m still here. I’ve got some fights lined up. I’m real excited to get back in the ring and show people what I’m made of, and that I’m still here and I can still push it back into the top levels of the division,” Joyce said
