British heavyweight Joe Joyce believes former world champion Joseph Parker can overcome the dangerous Zhilei Zhang.
Parker and Zhang are set to meet on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou, and Joyce has previous history when it comes to facing the Chinese star.
"The Juggernaut" faced Zhang twice in 2023 and was stopped on both occasions.
Speaking in an interview with Seconds Out, Joyce explained what Parker needs to do if he is to inflict the second defeat of Zhang's career.
“I’m hopeful Parker can do it,” Joyce said.
"He can beat Zhang and like be just a little bit more, I don’t know, smart and skillful than I was and get in there.
"But Zhang, he’s very accurate, and if he hits him with a good shot, he can put Parker down no problem.”
Joyce will be looking to bounce back from the two successive defeats to Zhang on March 16 when he faces Kash Ali.
