 Joe Joyce Shrugs Off Retirement Talk After Zhilei Zhang Defeat.

British heavyweight boxer Joe Joyce has said that there is "no chance" of him retiring from boxing after his defeat to Zhilei Zhang on Saturday evening.

Joyce lost his second professional fight in a row to Zhang, who knocked him out in the third round of their WBO interim heavyweight title fight at the OVO Arena Wembley in London.

Despite the defeat, Joyce said that he is still determined to become a world champion.

"This is not it for me, I've got plenty more in the tank," Joyce said. "I'm just going to have to have a bit of time off, then come back new and improved."

Joyce's defeat to Zhang was a surprise to many, as he was the favorite to win the fight. However, Zhang proved to be too powerful for Joyce, and he was able to knock him down three times in the fight.

Joyce said that he is still learning and that he will come back stronger from his defeat.

"I'm still learning and I'm still improving," Joyce said. "I'm going to take this on the chin and come back stronger. I'm not going to let this defeat define me."

Joyce is still one of the top heavyweight boxers in the world, and he is still expected to challenge for a world title in the future. He is a tough and durable fighter, and he has a lot of power.

Joyce will need to learn from his defeat to Zhang, and he will need to make some adjustments to his game. However, he has the potential to become a world champion, and he is determined to do so.

What's next for Joe Joyce?

It is unclear what is next for Joe Joyce. He is likely to take some time off to recover from his defeat to Zhang, and then he will start to look for his next fight.

Joyce is still ranked in the top 10 of the world heavyweight rankings, so he will have plenty of options for his next fight. He could face a top contender, or he could have a rematch with Zhang.

It is also possible that Joyce could fight for a world title in his next fight. However, that is likely to depend on the availability of the world champions.
