Joyce vs Hrgovic start time, undercard and how to watch fight online and on TV
Joyce was due to face fellow Briton Dillian Whyte here, but the latter was forced to withdraw due to injury, having suffered a severe cut on his finger.
So, in steps Hrgovic, who has not fought since his June defeat by Daniel Dubois, who stopped the Croat in round five after inflicting considerable damage to the 32-year-old.
Meanwhile, Joyce is aiming to respond positively to a loss against Derek Chisora, who dropped and outpointed the 39-year-old in July. That result saw Joyce fall to 1-3 in his last four outings, after back-to-back stoppages by Zhilei Zhang in 2023 and a late KO of Kash Ali last year.
Here's all you need to know.

Stunning football presenter Diletta Leotta shocks fans in bizarre see-through outfit for daughter's 2nd birthday party
DAZN host Diletta Leotta celebrated her daughter's second birthday alongside her football ace husband at the weekend. Diletta, 34, shocked her fans at the tot's bash as she sported a bedazzled see-through dress for the party. 12 Diletta Leotta has shocked fans with her latest Instagram upload Credit: Instagram @dilettaleotta 12 Diletta wore a see-through dress in the post Credit: Instagram @dilettaleotta 12 She posed in the bold outfit with husband Loris Karius Credit: Instagram @dilettaleotta 12 The outfit was for the pair's daughter Aria's second birthday party Credit: Instagram @dilettaleotta The social media star and presenter shared a whole host of snaps from the party as she and husband Loris Karius celebrated their daughter Aria's second birthday. The couple looked loved-up in some photos, while Diletta caused a stir with her bold outfit choice for her daughter's birthday. Despite the unusual fashion statement, her fans still showered her with compliments in the comments section of the post. One wrote: "Beautiful and beautiful." While another added: "Always beautiful and unique". A third commented: "You are amazing". And a fourth posted: "You are always wonderful". Others left more negative comments on the outfit choice for the occasion. 12 Diletta cut the cake at the elaborate bash Credit: Instagram @dilettaleotta 12 She blew out the candle with little Aria Credit: Instagram @dilettaleotta Diletta boasts a whopping 9.2MILLION followers on Instagram, where she is always sharing updates of her life away from the TV cameras. As well as her incredible social media following, Diletta is a host for DAZN's football coverage in Italy. But the Italian has come under criticism in recent months for her on-screen outfits. Valentina Maceri, who presents Champions League coverage on Swiss broadcaster Blue, slammed Diletta and a number of her DAZN colleague's outfits as "lacking in class" and "vulgar". Diletta has been with former Liverpool goalkeeper Karius since 2022, with the pair welcoming little Aria in 2023 before tying the knot last year. Karius now plays for Bundesliga 2. side Schalke after leaving Newcastle in 2024, meaning the pair have to juggle their relationship over two countries. But the shot-stopper has said their relationship is in safe hands despite the distance, explaining in a recent interview with Sport Bild that Diletta is supportive of his move. He said: "Diletta even advised me to extend at Schalke. She thinks the club is great and she likes everything she has seen here so far. "Diletta also thinks that royal blue is the perfect choice for my sporting success. She is fully behind this decision." Karius, however, admitted it's tough not seeing Aria every day but FaceTime is saving the day. He added: 'But of course it's hard for me when I can't see my little daughter Aria for days. "But that's what FaceTime is for and we see each other regularly - as often as possible." 12 Diletta and Karius have been together since 2022 Credit: Instagram @dilettaleotta 12 Diletta's outfit caused a stir online Credit: Instagram @dilettaleotta 12 The presenter's dress was see-through from head to toe Credit: Instagram @dilettaleotta 12 Diletta has come under criticism for her outfits on DAZN too Credit: Getty 12 Loris Karius has lifted the lid on what it is like to be apart from Diletta Credit: Instagram / @dilettaleotta
