By Declan Taylor - Zhilei Zhang produced one of the best performances from an overseas heavyweight in a British ring for many years to stop Joe Joyce in the sixth round. The Chinese southpaw, who is only a few weeks away from his 40th birthday, boxed beautifully to bust up Joyce so badly that referee Howard Foster had no choice but to wave off the fight after 1:23 of the sixth.

The main event features a WBO interim heavyweight title clash between knockout artist Joe Joyce(15-0, 14 KOs) and Chinese contender Zhilei Zhang (24-1-1, 19 KOs).

British-born Joyce, a 2016 Olympic silver medalist, is unbeaten and has held various titles at the regional level. In his last fight, he captured the interim WBO title with an 11^th-round knockout over former title challenger Joseph Parker.

Zhang, a 2008 Olympic silver medalist, turned pro in 2014 and knocked out Curtis Tate in the first 17 seconds of round one. He maintained a winning streak until a draw in 2021 against Jerry Forrest. He went on to win two more fights before his first and only defeat in 2022 against undefeated Olympic bronze medalist Filip Hrgović.
