Former interim WBO heavyweight champion Joe Joyce reported that he refused the offer Tyson Fury help him in the preparatory process before his rematch with Zhang Zhilei for the simple reason that he cannot afford the services of the WBC belt holder.

“It's a little expensive. Would you pay him that much? I was considering working with Fury, but when I thought about it and heard how big a sum he said, I certainly knew he wasn't serious.

Besides, I can meet him in the next battle or later. Therefore, I don’t want to give him too much information, it would be better not to train with him,” Boxing Social quotes Joyce.

Let us remind you that the rematch between Zhilei and Joyce will take place on the night of September 24 in London.
