Joe Joyce will look to bounce back from his first professional loss when he faces Zhilei Zhang in their rematch this weekend.
Juggernaut had a Battle of Britain showdown with either Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury in his sights before his unbeaten record was broken in April.

Joyce was stopped in the sixth round of his last fight against Zhang after suffering an eye injury in one of the biggest upsets of the year.
But the 37-year-old has the chance to instantly get his career back on track if he regains his WBO interim title to restore his mandatory world title post status.

Joyce vs. Zhang 2: What was said?
Joyce is desperate for a world heavyweight title shot but admitted he must first get past Zhang in a rematch.
Joyce told talkSPORT in June: “I wouldn’t mind fighting Usyk again, especially if I just beat Zhang.
“He’s a left-hander (like Zhang), so I’ll be a little better prepared for him.
“Or I would fight Tyson Fury, that would be good, I will fight anyone at the moment, I am a very tough man and I am willing to take risks.
“It didn’t pay off in the last fight but I will come back stronger.”
