Zhang deserved the chance he got.

    I am glad that Zhang got the opportunity to fight for the title of interim WBO champion, this is more than fair...

    Well Interim WBO Champion means about as much to me as a streak of pish in the wind. I guess, maybe, wandering about with a strap like this might make negotiations easier for him so there's that, and that does matter. But Jesus.

    As to him "deserving" it...it's mad how fans lose sight of what is happening when these belts get shoved about. What the WBO is saying is that they want to name two world champions.They'll have Usyk and Joyce. They'll gouge them both for fees and put WBO on both their fight posters. Genuinely leeching the sport of all sense. I don't think this garbage should ever be celebrated.

    Obviously it falls to Joe Joyce

    AJ & Eddie hearn are scared to put AJ in front of Zhang and Hurgo

    Yes and he can damage Joyces chin.

    Another crack in his armor.

    I don't think Zhang will be effective against Joyce.

    100%, nice to see Zhang get the opportunity and a decent payday

    And big respect to Joyce for taking on a dangerous 6'6 270lb southpaw banger when he could have just fought a bum

    Im sure it will happen but arent sick of the same old names getting beaten then hyped for one last go. This is could be a genuine one last chance for Zhang and he will try to go out with a Big Bang.. also there is intrigue because he can punch and hes massive, and that will enchnace Joyces reputation.

    Absolutely, which is part of the reason why I'm so thrilled with this match being made. And not only will it enhance The Juggernaut's reputation, but it may be the gift that keeps on giving. Because even after Joyce most likely beats him, I could definitely see Zhang picking up a strap in the future and carving through a large portion of the current Heavyweight division, AJ included.
