Joyce: "I hope Parker beats Zhilei"

Dmitriy Kel Feb. 12, 2024, 4:40 p.m.

British heavyweight veteran Joe Joyce shared his expectations for the upcoming fight between the Chinese WBO interim belt holder Zhang Zhilei and a former full-fledged champion in the same version, a New Zealander Joseph Parker.

The meeting of these boxers will take place on March 8 in Riyadh.

“I hope Parker gets the win. I like Zhilei, he is a tough fighter, but Joseph was a world champion, he has been boxing for a long time. Therefore, he also has skills. This is a very good matchup. I'll definitely watch it.

What should Parker do in his fight with Zhilei? You shouldn’t do what I did,” Joyce said in an interview with Boxing News.
