Many heavyweight representatives do not want to fight against the Chinese
Interim WBO heavyweight champion Zhang Zhilei announced his desire to fight for his belt with the Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk. At the same time, the Chinese boxer is also disappointed by the lack of worthy rivals.
“Heavyweight boxing right now is chaos. After I get the interim title, I should have the right to challenge Usyk, who has obligations to Dubois.”
“I want to fight Tyson Fury the most. But Fury chooses between me and Ruiz Jr. Ruiz was in a legal battle a while ago.”
“Joshua doesn’t want to fight me. This goes without saying. White and Chisora told the team they didn’t want to fight me.”
Recall that Zhilei defeated Joyce by technical knockout. In the 6th round, the referee was forced to stop the fight due to a large hematoma around Joe’s right eye.
39-year-old Zhilei became the interim WBO champion and now claims to fight Usyk. The WBA has ordered Usyk to defend his title against Daniel Dubois. The Ukrainian reported that he plans to fight the Brit at the end of the summer.
