I'll get off the canvas again

Joyce vows to come back after second battering by Zhang

- LIAM PRENDERVILLE

JOE JOYCE insists there is "no chance" he will retire after his rematch with Zhilei Zhang ended in another brutal knockout defeat.

The 38-year-old came in at the heaviest weight of his career in an attempt to exact revenge on Chinese heavyweight Zhang, who stopped him for the first time back in April.

But there was a sense of inevitability from the opening bell before the Brit was dropped in the third round with a crushing right hook.

His career now appears to be on the line just months after being discussed in the same bracket as Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
