The British heavyweight has activated a re-fight clause in his contract.
Joe Joyce and Zhang Zhilei will have a rematch. This was announced by the co-founder of the company S-Jam Boxing, which deals with the affairs of the British boxer Adam Morali.
According to him, Joyce’s team and the athlete himself decided to activate the clause in the contract regarding retaliation against the Chinese representative.
“Joyce qualified for a rematch in one of his next two fights but decided to fight it now. I think he would have won the fight if it wasn’t for the injured eye. Joe will beat him in the second half of this fight was supposed to be a game of two halves, but Joyce was injured in the first.
This is the only option we are currently considering. You have to regain your mandatory position and follow the title,” Boxing News 24 quoted the functionary as saying.
It can be recalled that Zhilei himself previously assured that his next fight will be a fight for the champion title.
