Terry Lane, manager of the WBO interim heavyweight champion Zhang Zhilei (26-1-1, 21 KO), commented on his client’s victory in the rematch with Joe Joyce (15-2, 14 KOs).
— Terry, what are your impressions of your ward’s rematch with Joe Joyce?
— This may sound too daring, but we expected such a result, which we all eventually saw.
— Did you expect a knockout?
- Yes. I was on a broadcast about a month ago and said that we would see an early knockout from Zhang.
— How do you assess the position of your player in the heavyweight division after this fight?
— He is definitely the best heavyweight in the world right now. Show me another heavyweight that has a resume like that in the last 18 months?,” Lane said.
Let us remember that on September 26, Zhilei knocked out Joyce in the third round.
