Duba’s abuser refused to go to the ring a day before the duel

On March 1, a show, organized by an influential promotional promoter Frank Warren and his Queensberry Promoctions, will take place in Burnemouth Arena “Bournemouth International Centre”.

The day before it became known that Card of the evening of boxing was impoverished for one duel – British boxer Joe Joyce (16-3, 15 KOs) refused to go to the ring against the 40-year-old Patrick Corte (22-4–1, 18 KO) from Germany. The reason for canceling the battle is not reported.

Probably, the former temporary champion in the heavyweight weight decided to better prepare for the next confrontation, because on April 5, he should have a match with the compatriot Dillian White (31-3, 21 KO).

Joyce suffered three defeats in the last four duels and lost his chances of fighting for the title. Previously, the British was considered a promising boxer and even won Daniel Duba, who now owns the IBF title. It happened in 2020, when Joe knocked his opponent in the tenth round.
