    Seems like this could clash with Matchroom's Dalton Smith Sam Maxwell / Terri Harper Breakhaeus / Maxi Hughes Cabrera Sheffield Card.

    I think the Copperbox should be sold out for Joyce and the 39 year old Zhang. Denzel Bentley Kieran Smith for the British Title will be chief support which is great.

    Styles should mesh well for a terrific fight, doesn't need the interim nonsense though

    Given the current landscape, probably as good an oppenent as you could hope for.

    Good fight

    Joyce breaks him between 7th and the 9th

    Might actually pop down to this

    I was really impressed by Zhang against Hrgovic but can’t see him beating Joyce. Will probably be a fun fight.

    I really like this fight, far better opponent than I expected.

    Zhang is ageing and crude but strong and durable with heavy hands. The styles will mesh well and this should be a bit of a war, looking forward to it.

    Both are likeable but totally non-competitive. Joyce will obliterate Zhilei.

    Not a bad fight for Joyce, good to face a southpaw too should he end up facing Usyk. No doubt he'll win, but a good hit out for him at the same time.

    Fun fight. Looking forward to it. Glad Joyce is staying active against somebody at least half decent.

    Very nice fight. Wonder if JoJo will be able to stop ZiZa

    Fair play to Zhang for taking this fight. Not many people are up for fighting Joyce. Will be a good fight.

    I thought Zhang beat Hrgovic - not going to rule him out here

    I agree, but on paper it's still a good fight. Could be really entertaining.

    If Matchroom intends to organize a UK event on the same evening, there won't be many viewers on DAZN UK.
