    He hasn’t had many fights though professionally. Zhang has gassed in all his fights previously. Joyce should have beaten him if he was as good as we all thought.

    Even Joshua Joyce next is a fun fight. I expect to see a rematch though.

    These are exactly the type of fights that should be getting made, a real risk with genuine reward if you come through the test.

    If you want to see pointless hand chosen fodder fed to house names all to protect their '0' i suggest you watch a Matchroom show

    Styles make fights.

    A big awkward southpaw that hits hard was all kinds of wrong for joyce.

    Shame that, pretty much leaves fury and usyk out on their own now.

    Zhang fury would be very interesting, tidy boxer than zhang.

    Zhang fought well but Joyce was far too easy to hit as always.

    Very interested to see who Zhang fights next. Hopefully it’s in the UK.

    John Fury fancied it before that performance.

    The Furys now looking at the Sefer Seferi rematch

    Look at the way Joyce handled Parker. And Parker was more game than ever, bigger than ever, and presumably hit harder than ever. It shows how shite Parker is.

    The ref who had Joyce up when the fight was stopped should be named and shamed by all in boxing.

    A ban for life with immediate effect as 'incompetence' does not come into play tonight.

    On a DAZN U.S card Zhang fought on after the Forrest fight, one of the commentators said Zhang had only drunk one glass of water that day and the weather had been scorching. It wasn't revealed why he had only one glass of water but it was said he had kidney failure and liver damage.

    There’s obviously a huge Chinese population here and hopefully they take advantage of it.

    This is exactly how i expected the fight to go. Joyce stood up to the power, the problem with getting hit a lot means cuts or bruising can happen, if they didn’t I still expect Joyce to have ground him down and ko him late.
    We’ve all talked about joyce getting hit, he’s always gonna get hit. He’s quite basic and the closing of the eye is gutting.
