Joe Joyce accused Joseph Parker of tricking him.
The two strong contenders have agreed to play each other this summer but since the announcement on April 23 at Wembley Stadium it has become a will they – they won’t know.
During the negotiations, both teams reported different aspects of the story was broadcast in the media. But when Parker signed a promotional agreement with BOXXER and Sky Sports, the proposed fight hit a brick wall with each man currently fighting on different TV networks.
Parker, his manager David Higgins, and Joyce promoter Frank Warren have both spoken out about the incident. Today, on social media‘The Juggernaut’ has decided it’s his turn to release this statement:
“So Mr. Parker, I always wanted to fight you and you pretended to want to fight, but in reality you said and did everything to avoid me.”
“Once it was all agreed, you pulled out of the scheduled July 2nd due to the BS about your trainer and then you begged to push the fight to September for more practice time.”
“I agreed. Then you asked for more. That was all agreed. After saying all was well for weeks, then you signed the contract elsewhere.”
“Let’s be honest, you’re full of s**t and you don’t want to fight.”
“Tell your new promoter (Ben Shalom) I’m going to fight September 24th. If you’re not scared, sign the contract. Don’t drown me anymore. “
Joyce, WBO’s number one heavyweight contender, back to the ring this Saturday night at Wembley Arena with Christian Hammer live on BT Sport.
