“Because the first time we negotiated with them they didn’t care about a rematch clause. I didn’t look the best in the first Chisora fight, then after the second one they wanted a rematch clause, it shows weakness and shows there are little doubts that they think they might lose.”
The 30-year-only old’s career blemishes were unanimous decision losses to Dillian Whyte and Anthony Joshua in 2018. He last competed in December 2021, defeating Derek Chisora twice in a row to extend his record to 30-2.
“Joyce is one of those fighters people don’t want to fight, he’s been avoided because he’s very dangerous,” added Parker.
“We could see what he’s done with his opponents, he chases them down, big engine, pressure, pressure, pressure, throws a lot of punches.
“A lot of people don’t like to deal with that, but I do, I love a challenge.”
A fourth-round TKO victory over Christian Hammer for Joyce, who is unbeaten at 14-0 (13 KOs), was the most recent evidence of the Olympian’s rock-solid resolve.
“The knockout would be great, but just going in there, executing the plan and owning him and winning in good fashion,” said Parker.
“There’s no point winning boring fights, get in there and get amongst it, mix it up. There’s a way of fighting this guy and I think Andy Lee has got the perfect plan.”
