Usyk: Joyce needs to change something in his boxing

Andrew Karlov Aug. 22, 2023, 3:01 p.m.

After the defeat in mid-April Joe Joyce (15-1, 14 KOs) will get a chance to take revenge on Zhang Zhilei (25-1-1, 20 KOs) September 23. The best of this pair will become the mandatory contender for the WBO heavyweight belt. According to Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs), IBF, WBA and WBO champion, he was not very surprised by the outcome of the first fight.

“If Joyce doesn’t change something, doesn’t box a little differently, the result will be the same again and Zhilei will win again. The result of the first fight did not surprise me at all. Already from the second round, it was obvious that Joe felt uncomfortable in such a fight and had difficulty adapting to Zhang's fighting style. He can definitely take revenge, but he needs to change his boxing a bit, ”Usyk said.
