Haye backing Dan-buster Joyce

- TOM HOPKINSON

DAVID HAYE reckons Joe Joyce’s guile, nous and engine will give him the edge over Daniel Dubois.

The pair are now set to meet on Saturday July 11 after their clash for both the British heavyweight title and the vacant European heavyweight crown was rescheduled from April 11.

While many believe the explosive power of KO specialist Dubois (right) will be too much for Joyce, Haye is convinced the 2016 Olympic silver medallist’s experience and fitness make him slight favourite to come out on top.

“It’s a great fight,” said Haye. “It’s a fight both men need. Both want to prove they are No.1 and it’s a great opportunity.
