Wait 5 sec.

Joe Joyce is adamant he has a future in boxing despite suffering five defeats in his last six fights.‘The Juggernaut’ was beaten by Artem Suslenkov in a penultimate round stoppage defeat last month.Joyce was beaten bizarrely by Suslenkov, but is refusing to retireIBAJoyce continued to look a shadow of his former self, and much like for previous fights, he has now faced widespread call to retire.The Briton is now the furthest he has ever been away from the world title mix, and would face a long and arduous battle to claw his way back.But despite his recent form, Joyce has told talkSPORT.com he still intends to return.The 40-year-old wants to fight again and has declared himself a promotional free agent.He said: “No I’m not retiring. I will keep moving forward and having some exciting nights in boxing.“There’s plenty of opportunities. I’d be open to having a conversation with Zuffa Boxing and Dana White.“I’m open to having a conversation with everyone to see what is out there.“I’m excited to get back in the ring, I had a tough test in Moscow but it was difficult to get a fight in the UK.“I still want to fight someone exciting.”It is unclear what options Joyce is perceived to have next, having already fought so many of his British rivals.
