DAZN’s All-Heavyweight Boxing Card Officially Announced: Whyte vs. Joyce Headlines Stacked Event
Boxing fans, get ready for a night of thunderous action! DAZN has officially announced its all-heavyweight boxing fight card, headlined by a showdown between British bruisers Joe Joyce and Dillian Whyte. The April event, which will take place at the Co-op Live Arena, promises non-stop action with a lineup stacked with heavy hitters.
Whyte vs. Joyce: A Slugfest in the Making
Both Joe Joyce (16-3, 15 KOs) and Dillian Whyte (31-3, 21 KOs) are past their primes but remain two of the toughest, most experienced heavyweights in the game. Joyce, known for his relentless pressure and granite chin, will be looking to bounce back after recent setbacks. He is scheduled to fight Patrick Korte (22-4-1) on March 1st in what is seen as a tune-up bout. Whyte, on the other hand, last fought against Ebenezer Tetteh, securing a 7th-round corner retirement victory.
However, he will need to be significantly sharper and fitter if he hopes to get past Joyce.
Fans can expect an old-school war, a ‘rock ’em, sock ’em’ affair where both fighters leave it all in the ring. The stakes are high, and this fight could very well be a 50-50 toss-up.
Okolie vs. Riakporhe: London Rivalry Renewed
The co-main event features another explosive matchup as former cruiserweight standouts Lawrence Okolie (21-1, 16 KOs) and Richard Riakporhe (17-1, 13 KOs) clash in their heavyweight debuts. Okolie has already tested the waters at heavyweight, while Riakporhe will be making his first appearance in the division. With both fighters known for their power, this fight has the potential to deliver fireworks.
Adeleye vs. TKV: A Battle of Rising Prospects
David Adeleye (13-1, 12 KOs) continues his rise in the heavyweight division after an emphatic KO victory over Solomon Dacres. His opponent, Jeamie TKV (8-1, 5 KOs), will look to prove he belongs among the best young heavyweights. This fight is a true toss-up, with both men having the power to end things early.
Delicious Orie’s Pro Debut
Adding further intrigue to the card, British amateur standout Delicious Orie will make his much-anticipated professional debut. The Commonwealth Games gold medalist has yet to have an opponent announced, but fans are eager to see how his skill set translates to the pro ranks.
Final Thoughts
An all-heavyweight card is a rare treat, and this one looks set to be a sell-out event. With multiple 50-50 fights, bad blood, and high-stakes implications, DAZN has delivered an action-packed night for boxing fans.
