Joe Joyce got the royal stuffing hammered out of him by Zhilei ‘Big Bang’ Zhang last April, and now he’ll be back for a second helping on September 23rd at the Wembley Arena in London.
Eddie Hearn predicts WBO interim heavyweight champion Zhilei ‘Big Bang’ Zhang will score a stoppage within six rounds in his rematch with Joe Joyce on September 23rd at the Wembley Arena in London.
It seems we could see two explosive heavyweight rematches take place in the UK this summer. Today, the official press conference was held to formally announce the rematch between Zhilei Zhang and Joe Joyce.
WBO interim heavyweight champion Zhilei ‘Big Bang’ Zhang feels that he’s a bigger threat to WBC champ Tyson Fury than Deontay Wilder because he can punch with either hand, and he throws combinations rather than single shots.
It has been confirmed how heavyweight contender Joe Joyce has activated his rematch clause for a return rumble with Zhilei Zhang.
According to Bob Arum, who of course, co-promotes WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, Andy Ruiz is not likely to be the next challenger for Fury.
Top Rank promoter Bob Arum has revealed that Zhilei Zhang is the frontrunner for WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s next fight this summer in July, and he hopes to finalize the deal this weekend.
Newly crowned WBO interim heavyweight champion Zhilei Zhang would like to challenge IBF/WBA/WBO champ Oleksandr Usyk next.
However, Joe ‘The Juggernaut’ Joyce wants an immediate rematch with Zhang (25-1-1, 20 KOs) to avenge his sixth round stoppage loss earlier this month on April 15th.
The word is WBC heavyweight champ Tyson Fury will fight at Wembley on either July 15 or July 22 (both dates have been reserved at the venue) – with two guys in the frame: Andy Ruiz and Zhilei Zhang.
Andy Ruiz Jr and Zhilei Zhang are the two fighters being considered for WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury’s next title defense on July 15th or 22nd at Wembley Stadium in London.
