The Clash of Titans: Joyce vs Hrgovic

In a buzzing Co-op Live Arena in Manchester, boxing fans witnessed a thrilling showdown on April 5, 2025, as Filip Hrgović took on Joe Joyce. After a year away from the ring, Hrgović came back strong, reminding everyone why he remains a force in the heavyweight division. His precise punches and relentless body shots overshadowed Joyce's attempts, securing him a unanimous victory. The judges tallied the scores at 97-93, 96-95, and 98-92, boosting Hrgović's record to 18-1 while Joyce took a hit, falling to 16-4.

The match was stoked with anticipation, not only being a significant fight in their careers but also marking the first encounter between the two 2016 Olympians. For Joyce, it was a chance to bounce back after a challenging defeat to Derek Chisora in July 2024, but Hrgović's strategic play was a dismay to the British fighter.
