Joe Joyce's latest press conference descended in chaos because of no fault of his own fault.
'The Juggernaut' will be in a heavyweight title turn again on Saturday evening.
Successive knockout losses to Zhang Zhilei preceded a decision defeat to 49-Vecht veteran Derek Chisora, who seemed to be done as a top candidate after he had been stopped by Dillian Whyte and Tyson Fury.
Joe Joyce's upcoming collision with Filip Hrgovic is Make-Or-Break, but nobody is talking about that after two undercard hunters who are almost praised during a press conference before the fight in Manchester, England, Thursday.

Boxer causes chaos by throwing the table at the press conference
In the Co-Main event of the evening, Jeamie Tshikeva-Algemagnators will be known as Jeamie TKV-op Het Punt against David Adeleye for the empty British heavyweight title, which Fabio Wardley defended by beating Adeleye in October 2023.
The two men bicker during the fighting week, but things reached the boiling point when they were forced to share a stage for a press conference.
“You are AB —,” Adeleye shouted. “Every time I am involved in a fight, security comes because they know that I am smoke. With you there is no security. I get busy everywhere. Now we can be busy.
“That will not be about that as soon as there is no security, you will make a backup … I'm going to hit you -I will hurt you. Believe me, Jeamie, I am the truth, I really live.”
In response, TKV turned it angry before the security flooded the stage to ensure that a fight did not break out.
Chaos followed when Adeleye tried to attack his opponent, just to be stopped by two members of the security team.

“So fake,” tweeted a skeptical third fan.
“It's time to foam the tables,” someone else was on it.
“Is table coloring a new strategy to win press conferences now? What is the next step, throwing chairs at weightings?” A fifth fan asked.
“They are not good enough to worn that way,” wrote another X user.
