Heavyweight titans collide this weekend at the Co-Op Live Arena, Manchester, as 'The Juggernaut' Joe Joyce returns to competition against 'El Animal' Filip Hrgovic.

The heavyweight headliner features two prolific finishers looking to recoup from career-altering losses. Hrgovic steps in to replace Dillian Whyte, who withdrew with an injury.

For Joyce, his upset loss against an over-the-hill Derek Chisora in 2024 couldn't have been more damning. Fans were shouting 'fraud check' when Hrgovic fell to Daniel Dubois a month earlier, and now both men vie to return to the win column.

'Heavy Impact' hosts 12 fights at British prime time, here's what you need to know.
