WBO interim heavyweight titleholder Zhilei Zhang (26-1-1, 21 knockouts) speaks with The Ring's Ryan Songalia about his upcoming fight with Joseph Parker, discusses how training camp has gone, and what lies ahead in the future of the heavyweight division for the Chinese big man.
If Zhang beats Parker, his next fight should be a title fight.
Every1 is Scared of this Dude thats why Zhang vs Parker is 10x more of a Dangerous Fight than Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou
Big Facts- nobody wants that smoke from the big man from China
he can bang and hes smart...black fighters are not smart
Joshua and Ngannou is simply a cash grab, Zhang and Parker is really the main event.
Usyk would. Fury is obviously more choosy.
he looks a lot younger here got them chinese genes, big up big bang!!
Most dangerous opponent I think.
If we are talking world boxing Zhang is very important, maybe not for himself, outside of his view, but for influence in China, he is massive, a great fighter, but getting on in years so his time table is of fundamental importance to this era of heavyweight as well as the future. My fear is Zhang is getting on, and I am willing to be proved wrong, but I think Zhang beats Parker, but I think his journey stops there, why? because of the current heavyweight division, Fury is talking Usyk then Joshua, Joshua is talking Ngannou then Fury or Usyk, so we are talking 2025 maybe 2026 (unless Joshua loses to Ngannou) before a title shot for Zhang, which puts Zhang at 42 knocking on 43. Listen I like Zhang, and I think if he had his shot now, he has a real good chance of becoming a world or multiple world champion, I am just not sure time or boxing politics are on his side.
Zhang over Parker by ko. Watch.
Zhang needs to rematch Hrgovic
He does not want to, he declined the rematch.
That loss was controversial, and Zhang would likely flatten Hrgovic now. But he’s got no time time to dabble with chump change rematches if he’s within shouting distance of a world title fight and not getting any younger.
@@Pulsonar Hrgovic wanted the rematch to fix the bad taste but Zhang declined
@@Pulsonar And why would he "flatten" him now, cause you drank the hype syrup?
@@spicesmuggler2452 I’m not gonna debate the Hrgovic fight, just say a final statement. You saw the fight, I saw it, and Zhang whupped Hrgovic left right and centre. Unfortunately, the business politics favoured Hrgovic, he only offered a rematch as an olive branch, he knew in his heart Zhang whupped him.
Usyk would take on the challenge, Fury would duck duck duck. ZZ is 💯 a legit challenger! Fury is stalling the whole division!
Descendent of Lu Bu
LMFAOO
Big Bang Zhang gonna bust up Jo-Pa. Big Bang is comin' for them, Big Bang is a 2 time conquerer of Joltin' Joe Joyce the Juggernaut. ☯️✊👊🙏
Instead of putting a lot of information in a(ny) question why not start with the conclusive question "how do the chinese perceive you now as a professional?" and do short follow up questions according to the answers?
I agree. Real reporters stopped decades ago.
zhang...wery danger...
not really fair,i just read there is 1 way rematch clause parker will hav to beat zhang twice..
Zhang had to deal with the same issue vs. Joyce, a one way rematch clause
GO BIG BANG, PARKER CHAT SHIT WILL GET ZHANGED!
He would fo beter than dubious n chisora anyway
If youre that good Zhang whats with your stupid rematch clause against Parker? these sefish clauses slow boxing down
Yet every body else has reematch clauses wasnt zhang slowed down having to fight joyce again ?
@@bruceleeroythatswho Parker has never ever asked for such a selfish clause AJ did tho
@@goatculler They learned that from Joyce's "one way rematch clause" and from the boxing world. Don't blame the player, just blame the game, fool.
So what?, Zhang had all the credentials in the past, offering to fight several of Furys and Wilders previous opponents, and all of them ducked. Now he's a serious contender, you're complaining?.
Joseph Parker knocks him out
