Zhilei Zhang vs. Joe Joyce took place April 15 at the Copper Box Arena in London, England. WBO interim heavyweight champion Joe Joyce (15-1) put his belt on the line against Zhilei Zhang (25-1-1) in the night’s main event. The fight aired live on ESPN+.
The former Team GB star hoped to retain the title - and his status as the mandatory challenger for Oleksandr Usyk's undisputed strap - with a sixth stoppage victory in a row.

Joe Joyce saw his fight with Zhilei Zhang waved off after the ringside doctor deemed him unable to continue.
The heavyweight's world title dreams have been hugely dented after his right eye was left gruesomely swollen.
Referee Howard Foster twice took Joyce, 37, over to the doc, who assessed the damage and extent of the injury.
On the second occasion, cameras caught the moment the medic covered Joyce's left eye and asked how many fingers he was holding up. The Londoner did return the correct answers - in two and one - but the damage was already done.
Foster was advised to wave off the fight and Zhang, 39, was handed a shock technical knockout win after six rounds.
Joe Joyce was beaten and battered by Zhilei Zhang across six brutal rounds at the Copper Box.
"But incredibly one judge had the Brit WINNING against the Chinese heavyweight before Joyce was pulled out."
Joyce's right eye was horribly swollen and he could barely see as Big Bang Zhang went to town on the Putney powerhouse.
Somehow, though, one judge had Joyce in front, sparking fury among fans.
One said: "Joyce up by one... never in a million years."
Another wrote: "Whichever judge has Joyce up on the scorecard should probably be investigated."
Boxing fans can’t believe ‘shameful’ scorecards from shocking loss of Joe Joyce to Zhilei Zhang and call for ‘investigation
The brutally beaten Joyce grins but can hardly take it after Zhang destroys him, yet the Brit was ahead on a judge’s scorecardCredit: Richard Pelham / The Sun Zhang’s lopsided win means the Chinese heavyweight now has the WBO interim belt, making him her mandatory challenger for Oleksandr Usyk’s WBA, IBF and WBO world titles.
One fan wrote: “Joyce at 1 on a judge’s scorecard. Never in a million years.”
Another wrote, “Whatever judge has Joyce on the scorecard should probably be investigated.”
And a third summed up the consensus on social media with this message: “A judge got Joyce in the cards! Crazy. Thankfully, Zhang pushed for the break. Totally deserved.”
Between belittling the Chinese boxer, Zhang Zhilei, the West believes his boxer will win so the score is made first, and wants to belittle China.
