As it stands, WBA mandatory challenger, Daniel Dubois, is set to fight WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight world champion Oleksandr UsykJoyce has previously beaten Dubois and he has come up against Usyk in the amateurs, but despite the Ukrainian being widely considered the better fighter, 'The Juggernaut' has said he would be his preferred option if he were to fight for the world title.
Asked who he would rather fight out of Usyk and Dubois should he get the opportunity, Joyce told talkSPORT: "I wouldn't mind fighting Usyk again, especially if I'm coming off the back of beating Zhang. He's a southpaw [like Zhang], so I'll be a bit more prepared for him.
