Mail Sport’s new WhatsApp Channel: Get the breaking news and exclusives here<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\nEddie Hearn believes it is time for Joe Joyce to hang the gloves up after his devastating knockout at the hands of Zhilei Zhang on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Zhang landed a viscous right hook on Joyce that ended the fight in the third round, meaning he remains the WBO interim champion.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There has been talk of Joyce fighting Anthony Joshua but promoter Hearn thinks that would be a terrible idea and that he should call it a day.<\/p>\n
‘He’s 38? He’s taken a huge amount of punishment in sparring, in fights,’ Hearn said in an interview with IFL after Conor Benn’s comeback fight in Florida.<\/p>\n
‘His greatest asset was his ability to take punches and walk through them – he can’t do it anymore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Eddie Hearn thinks that it is time for Joe Joyce to bring his boxing career to an end\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Joyce suffered a devastating knockout at the hands of\u00a0Zhilei Zhang in the third round\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘Zhilei Zhang is a good fighter, he’s not an elite heavyweight, in my opinion, but he’s a world-class heavyweight.’<\/p>\n
Asked about a fight between Joyce and Joshua, Hearn replied ‘no, that would be dangerous.<\/p>\n
‘Honestly, he shouldn’t be boxing. He’s had a great career, he should’ve been Olympic champion, he won the interim world heavyweight title and I’m sure he’s made a lot of money as well.<\/p>\n
‘AJ punches as hard as Zhang with much more speed. It’s not the right fight to make, you have to protect these guys. It’s a car crash that fight. A car crash.’<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hearn thinks a fight between Joshua and Zhang makes much more sense than one with Joyce<\/p>\n
Joshua beat Zhang on his way to Olympic gold in 2012 and Hearn is open to the idea of a rematch.<\/p>\n
‘AJ has always fancied that fight,’ he said when asked. ‘He beat him in the amateurs, it was a good fight. Of course, [we’d do it in China]. Money talks, we can do it at Wembley [Stadium].<\/p>\n
‘We want to make the Wilder fight. I think Zhang is an easier fight, it’s still dangerous, but why not?’<\/p>\n
