Joe Joyce lost his rematch with Zhilei Zhang to make it back-to-back defeats to the Chinese heavyweight, who will now look to a clash with Tyson Fury.
Zhang shattered Joyce's unbeaten record with a sixth-round stoppage in April, with the British fighter coming into Saturday's Wembley Arena bout at his career-heaviest as he sought revenge.
But this performance was even more convincing from Zhang, who ended the fight with a brutal knockout in the third round.Joyce looked comfortable in the opening stages of the contest, circling away to his left to avoid Zhang's left hand in a relatively quiet first round. But Zhang came out with much more intent in the second round, actively closing down the distance between the two fighters to get within range of Joyce.
