Does this loss increase Joyce's chances of a title shot? Joyce wasn't having a lot of success getting one of the champions in the ring with him despite beating good competition. With his former victim in Dubois in line ahead of him and Franklin getting a shot after losing to Whyte, will the champions see Joyce as less of a threat and avoid Zhang at all costs?
I thought Joyce would win if he got through the first half of the fight with having a better engine. The result may have helped him though as the heavyweight division is full of duckers and complete *****'s other than Usyk, so this may get the likes of Tyson and Joshua weigh it up and consider the fight.
