Derek Chisora has made a knockout prediction ahead of the rematch between Zhilei Zhang and Joe Joyce.
Zhang and Joyce first met in April, and it was the former who produced a huge upset. The Chinese fighter's left hand proved to be the difference, inflicting significant damage to Joyce's right eye and come the sixth round, the referee had seen enough and brought the fight to an end.
Despite the dominant performance from Zhang, Joyce decided to activate a rematch clause and now the pair will meet on September 23 at the OVO Arena Wembley.
Speaking ahead of the fight, Chisora believes Joyce can get revenge in the English capital.
"Joe Joyce can win this fight by training for 4, 5, 6 rounds coming in and blasting Zhang out, he’ll win the fight by knockout,” Chisora told Seconds Out.
However, there will be some concern as to whether Joyce's right eye can withstand similar punishment this time around and it's something that Chisora could not ignore when making his prediction.
"If Joyce warms up with Zhang and Zhang finds that jab to his eyeball socket then he’s f—d basically, his eye hasn’t healed. He’s f—d.”
