Zhilei: “Waiting for Joyce to fulfill his promise and knock me out”

Interim WBO world heavyweight champion Zhang Zhilei (25-1-1, 20 KOs) told what he will do in his rematch with Joe Joyce (15-1, 14 KOs).

According to the Chinese boxer, he will hit the same eye of the Briton that he injured in their first fight.

“Of course I’ll hit you in the eye. Everyone saw the hematoma near his eye. So I'll aim there, there can be no question here.

I'll definitely be targeting the eye. I have no idea what Joyce will offer me, but whatever new he shows me, I have already seen it in training camp. I'm expecting a bigger challenge, that's why I'm here. I'm waiting for Joyce to make good on his promise and knock me out. “I’m looking forward to it,” Boxing News 24/7 quotes Zhilei as saying.

Let us remind you that the rematch between Zhilei and Joyce will take place on September 23 in London.
