Joyce faces Hrgovic in Manchester following Whyte's injury

News summary

Joe Joyce is set to face Filip Hrgovic on April 5 in Manchester after Dillian Whyte withdrew from their match due to a hand injury. Promoter Frank Warren emphasized the significance of the fight, stating it is crucial for both boxers, as the winner will advance while the loser must reassess their career. Hrgovic, who suffered his first defeat last June against Daniel Dubois, is also looking to regain momentum in the heavyweight division, similar to Joyce, who has lost three of his last four fights. Both fighters have a shared history in the amateur circuit, having competed against each other at the 2012 Olympics, where Joyce emerged victorious. Additionally, former cruiserweight champion Lawrence Okolie has withdrawn from his scheduled fight with Richard Riakporhe due to an injury, leaving the undercard in flux. The event will be broadcast by DAZN.
