JAKARTA - British heavyweight boxer Joe Joyce will return to the ring after swallowing two consecutive defeats. The 2016 Rio Olympics silver winner will enter the ring in Birmingham, England on March 16.

Joyce (38 years) will face Pakistani-blooded British boxer Kash Ali (31 years). Joyce is currently setting a 15-2 (14 KO) record, while Ali is armed with a 21-2 (12 KO) match record.

Joyce, who is Irish-Nigeria, lost their last two matches. Both defeats were obtained from the boxer from China, Zhang Zhilei.

In the first duel in London on April 15, 2023, Joyce lost to TKO round 6. The defeat came as a surprise to world boxing addicts, and cost him the WBO Interim title.

Joyce tried to revans five months later, with a rematch against Zhilei. The rematch was held again in London on September 23, 2023. But again Joyce keok, even more devastated because she lost by knockout in just three rounds.
