Joe Joyce returned to winning ways on Saturday night.
Joyce eventually got the job done, stopping Kash Ali in the last round of their contest.
‘The Juggernaut’ was coming into the bout off the back of two stoppage defeats to the hard-hitting Zhilei Zhang and looked tentative against the pot-shotting Ali.

Speaking to Queensberry following the win he said:
“I’m coming for everyone. I feel like I’m an elite fighter and I’m ready for all comers. There’s a lot of improvements I can make in the next camp. This is the first fight for the year and it’s off to a good start.
“I thought I’d get him out a bit quicker but he was good and tricky and had a high guard. He hit me with some overhand rights so there is plenty more improvements to make in training.
“It was difficult to nail him. My team said afterwards he’d never been stopped so that’s something good, and now I’m looking forward to the next fight and getting more wins under my belt.
“With how well Joseph Parker did that would be a good rematch, but there are plenty of good fights at the top level. I’m ready to fight anyone. Dillian Whyte might be a good one, Deontay Wilder is a good name as well, I’m ready for everyone.”
