Game Preview
Fight Preview
This Saturday in London, England, the unbeaten Joe Joyce of London will face Zhilei Zhang of China for the WBO Interim World Heavyweight Title. Joyce last competed in September, defeating former world champion Joseph Parker in a highly intriguing bout to claim the vacant WBO Interim Title. Zhang last competed in August, losing to Filip Hrgovic in a contentious 12-round unanimous decision.
After a stellar amateur career that saw him win gold medals at the 2014 Commonwealth Games and 2015 European Games, the 37-year-old Joyce didn’t turn professional until late in 2017. When he lost the gold-medal fight to Frenchman Tony Yoka at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, he also came away with a silver medal in the super-heavyweight division.
Joyce has a perfect 15-0 record, with 14 of those victories coming by knockout. He has an amazing 80-inch reach, is 6 feet 6 inches tall, and a knockout percentage of 93.3 percent, so it’s clear he has some power in his hands.
He has earned the British, European, and Commonwealth Titles as well as many minor WBC and WBO belts. When he defeated Hanks in 2018, he also took home the vacant WBA Continental Heavyweight Belt.
Let’s check the latest picks, Boxing news, stats and Boxing expert picks for Joe Joyce vs Zhilei Zhang. We’ve plenty of Boxing predictions for you to consider.
The 39-year-old southpaw Zhang has an almost perfect record of 24-1-1 with 19 Ko’s, with his loss to Hrgovic being his sole professional setback. His success was also based on strength; at the moment, he has a current knockout ratio of 73.1%. Since turning professional in 2014, he has only boxed 84 rounds, going 10 rounds twice and 12 rounds just once.
This is a fantastic heavyweight battle because it puts strength against strength and features two solid chins. Since Joyce is far better than most people think, it’s probably safe to argue that he has overachieved throughout his career. Zhang has a lot of strength as well, but he tends to lose energy later in battles, so he needs to make sure he gets Joyce off to a good start.
