The British boxing public knew Saturday night in Wembley would likely be a formality for Joe Joyce. The fact that the fight never saw round 5 suggests they were correct to think so. Yet once again we were left wondering whether 'The Juggernaut' is one of the divisions' most difficult puzzles to solve, or just another heavyweight on the chopping block.

Christian Hammer is your typical 'measuring stick' heavyweight. In this stage of his career especially, he's almost an ideal pick for Joe - stop him early, and you one-up the likes of Alexander Povetkin and Luis Ortiz. Go the distance, and you've banked valuable rounds with an international heavyweight. It makes sense whilst in waiting.

In typical Joe Joyce fashion, it took a barrage of punishment to get him started. Hammer literally couldn't miss for the first 2 rounds. But whether it was a one-two through the guard or a looping right flush on the whiskers, it done little to unsettle Joe and he once again showed his unrivaled ability to absorb shots.

As time went on, the complete disregard for Hammer's power became almost insulting, and it wasn't long before the Romanian was visibly wilting under the lights. Joe began to get away work of his own in round 3, including some excellent attacks to the body. Hammer's inevitable ending did soon come in the 4th, when after two previous visits to the canvas, referee Victor Loughlin deemed knockdown number three enough.

Everyone was left fairly entertained, which seems to be commonplace when it comes to a Joe Joyce fight night. Now with a perfect record reading 14 fights, 14 wins, 13 KO's, we once again prepare to enter the rumour mill. But before that, we should look into what the boxing world learnt about Joe on Saturday, shouldn't we?

The answer is nothing... and that's because Joe is in a team who understand exactly what he is. 6 weeks in Las Vegas with trainer Ismael Salas was never going to bring Lomachenko-esque movement to the Juggernaut's arsenal. What Joe does have however, is a unique skillset which if tailored correctly, could be one to cause the elite's a serious problem.

And by elite's I mean Anthony Joshua, Oleksandr Usyk and for what it's worth the 'retired' Tyson Fury. The previous two may have business to settle in Jeddah next month, but they are both well aware of the Juggernaut waiting in the wings. Meanwhile, Joe will of course have to build some form of momentum or risk eventually rolling into his biggest moment on the back of a stale 18 months.

I say 18 months because we expect Joe's mandatory shot to come in early 2023, when the scene will become a lot clearer after events in Saudi. Managers Adam Morallee and Shane Watson say the aim is one of the divisions TOP 15/20, with a September 24th date penciled in for the next installment of Joe's journey to world honours.

The drama around the loss of the Joseph Parker fight was arguably the fight week's most talked about topic, and it is becoming ever unlikely that he is the man we see opposite Joe Joyce in 3 months time. Top Rank's Cuban Frank Sanchez has openly expressed a desire to face Joe, but the WBO number 3 knows that waiting his time could prove more fruitful. Dillian Whyte isn't shackled to a promotional contract and is therefore worth a mention, but you have to feel he might be slightly reluctant to return from defeat in such a high stakes fight.

Or maybe we get the second installment of the Joyce-Dubois story. I doubt it, but weirder things have happened.
