Joe may fast be getting to the end of what he can do in NZ. After April that may be it. We sure hope for a decent opponent then.
Needs to go overseas afterward.
Big purses for him in UK if he can get established there.

I just see straight through Duco events tbh.
Joe has all the tools, he's one of the most naturally talented heavyweights I have seen in a long, long time.
It's a shame Manny Steward isn't still with us as he would have loved a guy like Joe and probably would have him at the Kronk regularly.
Duco, we have to understand what they are and what their agenda is, obviously they are far more concerned with moneymaking than what is good for Joe, also they understand Joe is their only real ticket seller
So what's best for Duco will be to continue to put him on PPV in new zealand against low level opponents until they can force a mandatory spot. If it gets to that stage they realise that they can make more money that way. And if Joe loses, they will just bring him back and go back to the low level opponents under the guise of rebuilding him.
Duco won't want to risk joe in a fight with a live opponent, overseas for short money there is nothing in it for them. But there is a lot of career growth for joe taking that option.
It is what it is, Duco are a business after all so they are just doing what any business would in maximising their investment, but if i was Joe i'd get out of my contract as fast as possible
if Joe wins the title he can do voluntaries in new zealand, and he can promote himself, opponents like Lucas Browne etc would come over here for a title shot at Eden Park no doubt. No need for Duco if he gets to that stage.
That's what i hope to see in the future for Joe
