Joe Joyce lost for the first time in his career after being defeated by Zhilei Zhang in a sixth-round stoppage at the Copper Box Arena in London. Zhang secured the WBO interim heavyweight title with a straight left hand that caused significant swelling to Joyce's right eye. The referee called off the fight after the ringside doctor examined Joyce's eye twice during the sixth round. Joyce apologized to his fans and supporters and vowed to come back.
