PREDICTION: JOE JOYCE VS. ZHANG ZHILEI

By: Jay Calderon

On Saturday at the Copper Box Arena in London, England, and live on ESPN (USA) and BT Sport (UK), Heavyweight hopeful Joe Joyce will take on former Chinese Olympian Zhang Zhilei in a battle of big men.

Joyce will be looking to remain perfect as a professional, having compiled a record of 15-0 with 14KOs. In his most recent outing, Joyce stopped former titlist Joseph Parker in eleven frames. The giant will be heading into the contest a massive favorite, considering his form as well as variables such as Zhilei's age (39), though Joyce isn't much younger (37).

Zhilei last fought in August, losing a close decision to another big bastard in Filip Hrgovic. With the defeat, Zhilei has a record of 24-1-1 with 19 stoppages.

Should definitely be a good fight. But does Joyce stay perfect or will Zhilei pull off the upset? Check out my Prediction in the video above.
