Before that, Joe needs to defeat Zhang Zhilei.
Interim WBO World Champion Joe Joyce considered the most likely opponent for the WBC belt holder’s next fight Tyson Fury.
“Gypsy King” plans to hold his next duel in the summer. Joyce is very likely to become Fury’s opponent if he can defeat Zhang Zhilei earlier. Recall that the battle of the British with the Chinese heavyweight will be held on April 15 in London.
Joyce knocked out Joseph Parker in his last fight and became the interim WBO heavyweight champion. After defeating the New Zealander, Joyce challenged the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk to fight.
Fury’s fight with WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk has been officially cancelled. Oleksandr’s manager Egis Klimas stated that the Gypsy King’s team demanded too much, no matter how much Usyk compromised.
