Filip Hrgovic warns Joe Joyce against a heavyweight clash
Filip Hrgovic questioned Joe Joyce’s confidence before their high heavyweight meeting in Manchester next week.
Hrgovic will face the former amateur Joyce rival in winning show in Co-OP Live Arena on April 5 live in Dazn.
“Juggernaut” overcame Croatzyniec with a decision in an amateur tournament in 2013 wounded dillian WhyteHe is sure he has gained revenge.
“This fight will be different,” said Hrgovic Boxnation.
“I am much more experienced.
“I am much stronger and I think that this time I will land, it will go down [the] Trust, as he did with amateurs.
“I’m sure I will beat him.”
39 -year -old Joyce won only once in his last four trips, losing twice in the space with Zhilei Zhang and points to Derek Chisory in July last year, abandoned in the ninth round.
Hrgovic wants to bounce after the first professional defeat with Daniel Dubois in June last year in Riyjad, but the 32-year-old thinks he has all the tools to cause another harmful defeat on the British, which, as they think, lost his once known resistance of the impact.
“Yes [I think his punch resistance has gone]he added.
“He is almost 40 years ancient.
“He is much older and has been knocked out several times, so I think that for sure.
“But if I don’t knock him out, I’m in good shape, I can go 10 rounds.
“I am faster than him and smarter, so I can beat him.
“If I don’t knock him out, I will beat him at points.
“But it will be a good fight.
“He is difficult, approaches, throws many blows.
“He has a massive heart and great endurance.
“So it will be a good fight, but I believe I have better features.”

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.
The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.
McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.

The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
