<\/p>\n

Joe Joyce\u2019s rematch with Zhilei Zhang was over even quicker than their first fight, with the Englishman knocked out in the third round at Wembley Arena.<\/p>\n

The two behemoths met for a second time with the WBO interim heavyweight title on the line after first clashing at the Copperbox in April.<\/p>\n

Zhang caused something of an upset in that first bout, securing a TKO victory in the sixth round, with damage to Joyce\u2019s eye to severe for him to continue.<\/p>\n

Many fancied Joyce to gain revenge over the Chinese star on Saturday night, but it was a much easier night for Zhang the second time round.<\/p>\n

After an uneventful opening round, Big Bang stepped it up in the second, with the Englishman looking in trouble shortly before the bell.<\/p>\n

It was nothing compared to the trouble he found himself in just moments later as he fell face first to the canvas during the third round.<\/p>\n

Zhang landed a left to the body and then a crushing right hook which flattened the Juggernaut, and although he impressively rose to his feet, the fight was rightly waved off as Joyce\u2019s record falls to 15-2.<\/p>\n
