British heavyweight Joe Joyce stated that in case of victory in a rematch with the interim WBO world champion Zhang Zhilei wants to fight with the holder of the WBA, WBO and IBF titles Alexander Usik.
“This is my plan. He is complex. You never know what will happen. I'll get there eventually. I'm sure of it. Victory will return me to the list of mandatory contenders. The WBO title defense will be announced after the IBF defense, which will be next. So I might get my chance.
I'm coming to get my money back and take back the interim WBO title. Then I can continue my journey and become the world heavyweight champion,” Joyce was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
Let us remind you that the rematch between Joyce and Zhilei will take place on September 23 in London.
