WBO interim heavyweight title holder Zhang Zhilei reported that in a rematch with Joe Joyce is setting himself up for another early victory.
“I feel great being the favorite this time. In the previous fight, people saw a new side of me that no one had seen in the ring before. In the rematch, boxing fans will learn even more about me, I have something to show.
If you look at your destiny, will you entrust it to someone else or take it into your own hands? If I'm aiming for a knockout, then I'm taking fate into my own hands! I will not give anyone the opportunity to decide my fate for me - not the referee, not the judges, not anyone else. I will make my own plan.
After the fight with Hrgovic, I told myself that I need to start doing things my way. I cannot leave the fate of the fight in the hands of the judges. This is something that I cannot change in our business. I have to do things my way,” Zhilei said in an interview with ProBox TV.
Let us remind you that the rematch between Zhilei and Joyce will take place on the night of September 24 in London.
