George Warren spoke about the reasons why his ward lost a fight to a Chinese boxer.
The referee made the right decision when he stopped the fight between Joe Joyce and Zhang Zhilei. This is what the promoter of British boxer George Warren said. The functionary said the referee was mainly concerned about the health of his ward.
At the same time, Warren paid tribute to the Chinese boxer, whom he called underrated.
“Of course, Zhang’s left hand was amazing in this fight. People write off fighters just because they’ve never heard their name before. True boxing fans know who Zhilei is. He is an Olympic silver medalist, and in my opinion he won over Hrgovic in an IBF qualifying match.
So you can not underestimate the merits of Zhilei, but on the other hand, luck in this match is on Zhang’s side, when Joe closed his eyes, which cannot be said about the match in Saudi Arabia against Hrgovic .
I believe the referee made the right decision when he stopped the fight. Fighters enter the ring to entertain us, not to endanger themselves and their health. This damage has become a problem, and it has become more and more dangerous with each round. So this is the right decision”, – Boxing News 24 quoted the words of the promoter.
We remind you, earlier Zhang Zhilei called on Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk to fight him in China.
