Zhang is disappointed that his next opponent will not be Tyson Fury.

He had a huge desire to be in the ring with him, but his plans were ruined by Joe Joyce, who activated the rematch clause. There will be a chance for Zhang, but he will have to wait patiently for it. Zhang is now focusing on his upcoming fight with Joe Joyce and is determined to win.

“We were pretty close to making the Tyson Fury fight, until Joe Joyce activated the rematch clause. It was a roller coaster because, for me, [fighting Fury] was my ultimate goal. And I was that close to getting there.

All of a sudden, Joe Joyce activated the rematch clause. But we deal with what we have in front of us. After beating Joe Joyce again, the roller coaster is still going up. We can still get there”.
