It can be recalled that in the first fight, held in April of this year, Joyce was defeated by Zhilei by technical knockout in the sixth round, losing the WBO interim champion belt. After the fight, the British boxer took advantage of the right prescribed in the contract for an immediate revenge.
It can be remembered that Zhilei previously prevented Joyce from holding a rematch.
