Zhang Wants to KO Joyce Again

BIG BANG ZHANG ZHILEI WANTS TO STOP JOE JOYCE AGAIN.

Fightnews ASIA.

5 months after Chinese southpaw “Big Bang” Zhang Zhilei rocked the heavyweight division with that impressive KO, he will be looking to do it again.

Zhang’s rematch against Briton Joe Joyce, on Saturday, September 23 at the OVO Arena Wembley in London have fans wondering what will happen.

The rematch is staged by Britain’s Queensberry Promotions, live on ESPN+.

Zhang vs Joyce 2 will start at 2 pm. ET.

Zhang (25-1-1, 20 KO;s), who at 6’6 and over 275 pounds, who lives up to his nickname, “Big Bang.” captured Olympic silver for China at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Then, he turned pro in 2014, compiling a record of 24-0-1 before losing a controversial decision to Filip Hrgovic last August.

But less than 8 months later, he battled Joe Joyce at London’s Copper Box Arena, pounding the Brit with left hands until the ringside doctor stopped the fight in the 6th chapter due to a swelling surrounding Joyce’s right eye.

Zhang wrested the WBO interim world title from Joyce in the process.

Joyce (15-1, 14 KO;s), a 2016 Olympic silver medalist, is hoping to exact revenge in his hometown.

Prior to Zhang’s first fight, “The Juggernaut” was known as boxing’s unshakable force, stopping top contenders Carlos Takam, Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker during a 5-fight knockout streak.

Joyce turned prol in October 2017, winning the Commonwealth title in his 4th outing.

Will BIG BANG ravage and stop Joe again? Or will the Brit get the revenge he wants? Fightnews ASIA#zhangjoyce2#espn+ #heavyweight
