Revenge between Joe Joyce (15-1, 14 KOs) and interim WBO heavyweight champion Zhilei Zhang (25-1-1, 20 KOs) will be held in the second half of September. This was announced by British promoter Frank Warren in an interview with talkSPORT.

The duel will again take place in Great Britain. Recently, Tyson Fury also expressed a desire to cross gloves with a boxer from China, but Zhang is contractually obliged to fight Joyce again.

Joyce's first meeting with Zhang took place in April. A boxer from China unexpectedly won an early victory, and for the Englishman it was the first professional defeat in his career.
