Joe Joyce tells Sky Sports he aims to fight Oleksandr Usyk next after his heavyweight rematch vs Zhilei Zhang on September 23 at Wembley Arena; Zhang upset Joyce when he stopped the Londoner in April and claimed the WBO Interim strap, after which Joyce triggered a rematch

"It was tough at the beginning [to get over first pro defeat]," Joyce adds."But once I got back into camp in Las Vegas, and got switched on and focussed on what I'm doing, it's given me and filled me with confidence.
