The Chinese heavyweight gave his forecast for the fight for the title of absolute world champion.
Zhang Zhilei suggests that the fight for the title of absolute world heavyweight champion may not take place. The Chinese super heavyweight boxer hinted that this could happen because of Tyson Fury, who may not enter the ring against Alexander Usik after an uncertain performance against Francis Ngannou.
At the same time, if the confrontation on February 17 takes place, then no one will be a favorite, because both the Ukrainian and the Briton are world-class fighters.
“I don’t know who will win. Anything can happen, and my experience in this case tells me that until the bell rings, anything is possible. If anyone feels that he is not ready, the fight may be canceled.
The fight with Francis Ngannou was a wake-up call for Fury. If he prepares for Usyk the same way he prepared for the Ngannou fight, he’s in big trouble. Right now, I’m leaning towards Usik winning this fight because of his skills and dedication to boxing,” Zhilei was quoted as saying by Boxing Scene.
We remind you that the fight between Usik and Fury is scheduled to take place on February 17 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Earlier, Swedish boxer Otto Wallin named the favorite for the Usyk-Fury fight.
