H. Fury v Joyce / Dubois v Gorman / Johnson v Buatsi ordered by BBBofC

The British Boxing Board of Control has released their latest circulars throwing up some tasty match-ups.

At heavyweight, world-rated Joe Joyce has been named as mandatory challenger to current Lonsdale Belt holder Hughie Fury.

Joyce is currently preparing for a spot on the Deontay Wilder v Tyson Fury undercard. Fury recently lost a world title eliminator against Kubrat Pulev.

With both eyeing world honors in the coming year, a fight looks highly unlikely at this point.

For the English strap, the board have ordered Daniel Dubois to fight Nathan Gorman. The clash would double up as a final eliminator for the British version.

In truth, Dubois v Gorman is much more likely to be for the vacant UK strap Fury is probably set to vacate.

At light-heavyweight, a massive domestic contest between world title challenger Callum Johnson and Josh Buatsi is up for purse bids.

Johnson v Buatsi is the most probable of the three to get over the line but still remains a long way off.

Callum Johnson v Joshua Buatsi would be interesting. I don't expect Fury and Joyce to fight , although there's no reason why they shouldn't. Does anybody know if Haye is still involved with Joyce? because there is now way he would be in Tyson Fury's camp if he was surely. and then there would be one of Tyson's Camp going in with his cousin!
Maybe the BBBoC should order Khan v Brook as a final eliminator for the British Strap. At least they would have something to fight for. ;D

Some really good match ups, I doubt many actually take place next.

I'd like to see Fury-Joyce and Dubois-Gorman.

But I think Dubois will be protected from the very tough Gorman, and I imagine Joyce will avoid a live opponent like Hughie Fury.

I don't think Joyce has much choice to be honest, he needs to get busy asap so Fury is a perfect move for him.
These potential fights are all interesting and competitive.
Hope they get made

I think the Buatsi v Conroy fight is a cert.

It also says Hughie Fury is injured, which is interesting.
