The promoter predicts the possibility of a fight between the former world champion and the Chinese boxer.
Zhang Zhilei is one of the four dominant boxers in the heavyweight division. Promoter Frank Warren thinks so. According to the functionary, by defeating Joyce the Chinese boxer showed his strength, and now other heavyweights will fear him.
And therefore, in the near future you should not expect a fight between Zhilei and former world champion Anthony Joshua.
“Zhilei made a statement with his appearance on the world stage. He is one of the four best heavyweights in the world. In his rematch with Joe Joyce, Zhilei scored a very good knockout. In the previous fight, he boxed very well against a very tough, capable and undefeated opponent in Joyce. Now Zhilei is here, she has taken over the sun.
As for his fight with Joshua, there is nothing to think about, but I believe that Anthony’s team will not risk him against Zhilei. He has a great jaw and lands some big shots in his fights, but most of all, Zhang can punch. “I know when he catches Joshua with one of his punches, you can count on him,” Warren was quoted as saying by talkSPORT.
We remind you that Joshua’s previous promoter also assessed the possibility of a fight with Zhilei.
