Joe Joyce has confirmed he has activated his rematch clause to take on Zhilei Zhang.
'The Juggernaut' elected not to sit on his laurels and took on a significant challenge against Chinese contender Zhang as he looked to set up a title clash with Oleksandr Usyk. However Joyce was handed the first defeat of his career, being stopped in a significant upset on domestic shores to derail his title bid.
It was unclear what his initial plan was after sustaining an eye injury, but after a medical assessment saw him cleared of any significant damage, he now is set to bid for revenge later this year. Joyce's manager Shane Watson confirmed the news, telling Mirror Fighting : " Joe Joyce consistently shows he is the only elite heavyweight who will fight anyone.
