Joe Joyce’s hopes of securing a massive heavyweight showdown against the likes of Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk or Anthony Joshua have been dealt a major setback following a disastrous defeat by China’s Zhilei Zhang.
‘The Juggernaut’ lost his WBO interim title and undefeated professional record in a huge shock at London’s Copper Box Arena on Saturday night, with the fight waved off in round six after the ringside doctor was twice called up to assess Joyce’s badly damaged right eye that had been swollen shut.
