Joe Joyce is gearing up for his make-or-break rematch against Zhilei Zhang following his brutal defeat to the Chinese giant earlier this year.
World title hopeful Joyce saw his perfect record in pro boxing end in April when Zhang forced a sixth-round stoppage at Copper Box Arena. Referee Howard Foster called off the fight due to heavy bruising and swelling around Joyce’s right eye.
However, the 38-year-old is confident of winning back his WBO interim heavyweight title belt at Wembley Arena tonight (Saturday), which would pave the way to a potential showdown against one of the division's big two, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. Ahead of one of the heavyweight division’s biggest fights of the year, Daily Star Sport casts its gaze to ringside and the stunning ring girls who will add some glitz and glam to the show.
