According to the former world champion, now no one will willingly fight with the Chinese.
Former world champion Carl Froch said that of all the leaders of the super heavyweight division, only Deontay Wilder could agree to fight WBO interim title holder Zhang Zhilei. According to the expert, the American will not be afraid of the Chinese boxer.
“We have Fury and Usyk, who you can split into first and second. We also have Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua. I don’t think any of those four really want to volunteer to fight Zhilei.
Out of four, Deontay Wilder would love a fight with Zhang. If we talk about the fact that at some stage this fight will take place in China, then 200 million people will watch it. Zhilei is a national hero in China. You can imagine that all these people are watching the match and cheering for it.
Wilder is brave enough and a good fighter to take on this challenge and go into the ring thinking he can win. He is an explosive puncher. Wilder will be confident that he can knock out Zhilei, so he will probably agree to this fight,” said Froch on his YouTube channel.
We remind you that Zhilei defeated Joyce in a rematch by knockout in the third round.
After the fight with the Briton, Zhilei promised to knock out Usik.
