The former world champion did not advise the Chinese boxer to challenge the holder of the WBC heavyweight belt.
Zhang Zhilei has no chance in a possible fight with Tyson Fury. Former world champion Tony Bellew thinks so. According to him, the Chinese boxer is definitely a dangerous opponent, but he is no match for the current champion.
At the same time, Bellew suggests that Zhang should not count on a meeting with Fury, because such a fight would not interest the British boxer.
“You can be sure that Fury will outbox Zhilei. Tyson can outbox almost everyone in the world, except for Usik. Fury is good, even very good, but there is nothing to gain from meeting Zhilei. No he is a world champion, not an invincible boxer, but at the same time he is very dangerous.
Zhilei can strike with both hands. This is not a boxer you can agree to fight. I’m speaking from a boxing business perspective today, not as a boxing fan. As a fan, I think a fight between Zhilei and Anthony Joshua would be excellent,” Bellew was quoted as saying by talkSPORT.
Earlier, Zhilei’s manager named the Chinese boxer’s likely opponent.
