British boxer Joe Joyce had no answer to Zhilei Zhang and suffered another brutal defeat to his Chinese opponent in London on Saturday night.
Five months on from being stopped in the sixth round of their first fight, history repeated itself as Joyce lost his rematch to Zhilei Zhang in double quick time. A brutal right hook left the Brit floored at the end of the third and unable to continue.
After a routine first round with little to note, Joyce walked straight into one of Zhang's lethal lefts midway through the second – and the writing was on the wall from thereon.

All confidence looked to have been drained from the Juggernaut, who tentatively made his way through the third until southpaw Zhang set him up with a jab. He followed it up with a blistering right hook to slump Joyce.
After celebrating in the ring, Zhang called out WBC heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury. He asked the crowd via his translator: "Do you wanna see me shut Tyson Fury up?"
