How to watch Joe Joyce vs Zhilei Zhang online and on TV this weekend
This weekend, Joe Joyce will look to take his next step towards a world-title fight, as he faces Zhilei Zhang in London.
Olympic silver medalist Joyce is unbeaten as a professional, having stopped Joseph Parker in his last fight, in September. Meanwhile, China’s Zhang came up short in a war with Filip Hrgovic in August, marking the first loss of his pro career.
Joyce is the interim WBO heavyweight champion, so is a potential future challenger for unified title holder Oleksandr Usyk, but the Britain must win on Saturday to stay on track for such a fight.
At 37, Joyce doesn’t have much time to waste, though neither does 39-year-old Zhang.
