Joe Joyce (15-1, 14 KOs) lost yesterday in London Zhang Zhilei (25-1-1, 20 KOs), which was quite a surprise, especially given the really good performance of the Briton in the fight against Joseph Parker (31-3, 21 KOs).

However, one person saw this as a positive moment - Joyce's weaker performance yesterday could be an occasion for witnesses of his fight with Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs), which will undoubtedly be an intriguing duel. We are talking about the famous expert Teddy Atlas.

“There is no evil without good. For Joyce, this may end up with his inefficiency prompting Joshua to fight him. If it comes to that, you never know, maybe Joyce's right hand will land on Joshua's porcelain jaw. We could see something like broken dishes,” Atlas said.
