Since then Joe has continued to conquer all those who step in his path with an outstanding record of 41 fights, 41 wins 32 wins by way of knockout.

Joe began his professional career in the Cardiff Arms Park in 1993 debuting on the under card of Frank Bruno. Knocking out all his opponents but still no sign of a title fight he left the management of Mickey duff and Terry Lawless and moved to Frank Warren’s Sports Network. Within 3 fights Joe had become the WBO Super Middleweight World Boxing Champion. It was not until 7 years later Joe would have the opportunity of a unification fight with Jeff Lacey. The Americans thought Joe was washed up and his WBO title was ready for the taking. They could not have been more wrong, Jeff Lacey was given a 12 round beating during which Joe threw and landed over 1,000 punches.

Joe’s ultimate goal is to unify all the Super Middle Weight titles and become a 2 weight world champion, only time will tell if he achieves his goals, the story continues……
