Joe Joyce definitively proved he is a danger to anyone in the heavyweight division.
Joyce is now the interim WBO title holder. It’s tough to predict exactly when his title shot will come, but, when it does, it’s certain he’ll make a fight of it .
Joseph Parker was stopped for the first time in his career. Before the stoppage, Joyce was up on all three score cards after another relentless performance. After that showing, the toughest test for ‘The Juggernaut’ might be finding opponents.
See how the boxing world reacted to the statement made by Joyce:

Joyce with a massive left hand and drops Parker, who somehow got up but couldn't beat the count. Joyce KO11 Parker to win the vacant WBO interim heavyweight title. Excellent but one-sided fight. #boxing #JoyceParker

Joe Joyce closes the show, sending Joseph Parker to the canvas with a left hand in Round 11. Parker wobbles to his feet but in no shape to continue. Best win of Joyce’s career yet. He’s ready – and deserving – of a crack a heavyweight title next year. #JoyceParker

Convinced Joyce could be a test dummy for baseball bats and would be ok
