Usyk: If Joyce doesn't change anything, rematch with Zhilei will be a repeat of the first fight

Unified World Heavyweight Champion Oleksandr Usyk shared his thoughts on the upcoming rematch of the WBO interim title holder in his division Zhang Zhilei With Joe Joyce.

“I want to watch this fight. If Joe Joyce does not change anything in his boxing with this guy, then there will be a repetition of the first fight.

I wasn't surprised at all. From about the second round, I realized that Joe is very uncomfortable, and he cannot adapt to his opponent. Maybe he can win the rematch. This is boxing, let them box. I don’t care about this at all, ”the Ukrainian said in an interview with Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions.

Recall that the rematch between Zhilei and Joyce will take place on September 23 in London. Their first fight took place in April and ended with the victory of the Chinese boxer by technical knockout in the sixth round.
