Zhang's plan to conquer world - in a kayak!

ZHILEI ZHANG is out to sink Joe Joyce's career at Wembley Arena this weekend after his first sporting love plunged.

The Chinese heavyweight has returned to British soil as he looks to make it back-to-back wins over the Londoner tomorrow night after his April victory.

Zhang, 40, is hoping he can then put himself in contention for a dream world title shot.

But when the 6ft 6in man mountain was a kid he had a different ambition - until he literally became too big for it.

"I was very athletic as a kid, and I chose kayaking because I really liked it," he said.
