Oleksandr Usyk believes Joe Joyce has it all to do in his September rematch against Zhilei Zhang if he’s to level the series with the Chinese fighter.
Zhang caused a minor upset earlier this year when he dominated Joyce from the outset before forcing the referee to intervene due to the damage he had caused to Joyce’s face.
The pair renew hostilities next month and Usyk is leaning towards Zhang.
The Ukrainian wizard is in action this weekend when he defends his unified world titles against Daniel Dubois, but the rest of the division is also occupying his thoughts as he offered his opinion on the upcoming clash.
“If Joe Joyce doesn’t change anything in his style, the result will be the same in the rematch,” said Usyk when speaking to the Queensberry Promotions YouTube channel.
