Zhilei Zhang vs. Joe Joyce 2 - Eddie Hearn picks his winner

Eddie Hearn is backing Zhilei Zhang to grab another win over Joe Joyce when the heavyweights collide for a second time next month.  

Earlier this year, Zhang caused a huge upset when he ended Joyce’s unbeaten run and became WBO interim champion in the process. 

The winner of the rematch is in line to become mandatory challenger to Oleksandr Usyk, so the stakes couldn’t be higher for either man.  

Zhang, who enters the bout a slight favourite, will be full of confidence following his stoppage over the 2016 Olympic silver medallist and Hearn believes the Chinese puncher will do it again. 

“I’ve got a feeling for Zhang stoppage inside six.” wrote Hearn, when addressing his followers on his Instagram story.
