Joyce vs Hrgovic start time, undercard and how to watch fight online and on TV
Joe Joyce and Filip Hrgovic will meet in a must-win clash this weekend, as each heavyweight aims to bounce back from defeat.
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.
