Anthony Joshua has been told Joe Joyce would shatter his "porcelain" chin despite his loss to Zhilei Zhang.
Joyce was looking to retain his WBO interim title this weekend in a risky fight against Chinese contender Zhang in London, and he came unstuck after being stopped within six rounds following a brutal eye injury. Prior to the meeting, 'The Juggernaut' had repeatedly called out 'AJ' and suggested he would be willing to stage a fight providing he progressed.
Joshua had himself suggested he would be open to the showdown after his recent win over Jermaine Franklin, which Joyce had been extremely critical of in the build-up to his own appearance. Despite the Briton falling to his first career defeat, trainer Teddy Atlas offered a brutal verdict on how Joshua would fare against his domestic rival.
