Joey has big plans as he aims to compete against popular boxers like Jake Paul, Tommy Fury, and KSI in the future.

In a conversation with Sky Sports, Joey stated:

“You have Jake Paul, who is the golden boy. There are others like KSI, Tommy Fury. It depends on how far this goes.”

He added:

“I will go through the 30th round and then we'll see. I have a big name. Joey Essex against Jake Paul, Joey Essex against KSI, Joey Essex against Tommy Fury – that makes sense. But first, I have to get there.”
