The Brit was expected to be involved in a matchup with but the talks have once again broken down. Joyce and Parker were set to face off in July, but Parker's trainer Andy Lee had to step away due to his wife expecting a baby. It then looked to be rescheduled for September but the New Zealander signed a deal with Sky Sports, making the negotiations even more difficult. The clash against Hammer will be the Brit's next bout. Dillian Whyte's defeat to Tyson Fury in late April could open the door to a potential domestic fight. While doing an interview with iFL TV, Joyce was asked if he'd be interested in fighting Whyte after Hammer, to which he replied: "Yeah, [I'm] definitely open to that, it's a great fight. He's been mandatory for countless days but maybe needs a tune-up before that. I'm happy to get in the ring with him, I think it's a great fight." Joyce then added: "I think you want to see it, everyone wants to see it, so let's make that if the [Joseph] Parker situation doesn't pan out." With a matchup against Parker looking very unlikely for Joyce due to network deals, a clash against Whyte would arguably be even bigger. Whyte will be looking to rectify his mistakes from his fight against the heavyweight champion and aim to redeem himself in the heavyweight rankings. Joyce, on the other hand, will be eager to add another high-profile name to his resume in order to secure a title challenge. Watch Joe Joyce's full interview here:
