๐ค Fight in London this weekend: Joe Joyce ๐ฌ๐ง vs Zhilei Zhang ๐จ๐ณ
Joyce's interim WBO heavyweight title defense
๐Joyce vs Zhang: Whatโs been said?๐
๐Joyce:
โIt is a great fight. โZhang is a big, strong southpaw who is massive, and he has been to the Olympics and all that. So, he has the experience and I think it will be a great fight.
โHe bangs so I will have to watch out for it.
โIt will be carnage in the centre of the ring! I have lost my temper a few times in sparring and once was against a come-forward southpaw who was trying to knock me out. It was an exciting spar.
โI think with me and Zhang there will be real heavy punches exchanged and I am sure it will be a good fight.โ
๐Zhang:
โItโs a new chapter in my career, I am always up for the challenge and when the opportunity rings the bell.
โJoe Joyce and I share a lot in common โ we both are Olympic silver medallists๐ฅ, both are big punchers ๐ฅ, and are nearly the same size.
โThis is going to be an explosive, epic and tremendous fight.โ
