Trainer of former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder Malik Scott shared his expectations for the fight Joe Joyce And Zhang Zhilei, which will take place on the night of August 24 in London.

“My heart is with Joyce, but I would put my money on Zhilei. Joyce's problem is that he could have allowed Zhang to believe in his own abilities. In the heavyweight division you have to throw punches. You need to earn respect even if you're not a puncher. I don't think Zhilei has a high opinion of Joyce after their first fight.

This fight can take place in two scenarios. This means that Zhilei could run into a heavy blow at the beginning of the fight and lose early, or it will be a difficult evening for Joe, which will turn out to be even worse for him than the first fight with Zhang,” Boxing News 24 quotes the coach.

Let us remember that the first fight between Joyce and Zhilei took place in April and ended in an early victory for the Chinese.
