Dillian Whyte reacts to Joe Joyce’s 6th-round TKO loss to Zhilei Zhang

Following his defeat to Zhilei Zhang, Dillian Whyte is disappointed that he will not face Joe Joyce in an all-British matchup. Joe Joyce unexpectedly lost to China's Zhilei Zhang in a stoppage match on Saturday night at the Copper Box Arena, dealing a significant blow to his chances of winning the world championship. As his 39-year-old opponent put on a dominant display that forced the referee to end the fight in the sixth round, The Juggernaut relinquished his WBO Interim title. Zhang's tremendous boxing skills were clearly seen from the considerable swelling in Joyce's eye. In the end, the damage was too extensive, and Howard Foster was forced to step in and stop the conflict. It was the perfect payback for Zhang after his contentious first-career defeat to Filip Hrgovic in their IBF championship eliminator in August of last year. Joyce suffered her first defeat in a match against a pro. Joyce was expected to face Tyson Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, or Anthony Joshua in the fight's build-up, but it was Zhang's night, and the victor made it obvious that he intended to challenge the title holders.
