Joe Joyce could accept a fight prior to any rematch with Zhilei Zhang after he was brutally stopped by the Chinese contender.
The Juggernaut accepted a difficult outing against Zhang as he aimed to keep busy prior to any potential title shot against Oleksandr Usyk or Tyson Fury. However, he was left stunned by his Chinese rival who put on a clinical display to stop Joyce who was unable to continue after suffering a damaging eye injury.
After being left stunned by the dominant display from Zhang, Joyce could now have the option to try for immediate redemption having added a rematch clause to the fight contract. But after a damaging defeat, the 36-year-old has admitted he could first look to bounce back from his first career beating against a new opponent.
