The former world heavyweight champion could end his professional career if he loses to the Chinese.
Deontay Wilder may end his professional boxing career. This is what the former world heavyweight champion himself said.
This will happen if the American loses a duel against Zhang Zhilei. According to the Bronze Bomber, this is his last chance to revive his career.
“I feel great. Nobody thought we’d be working with Eddie Hearn, so it’s another surprise.
I respect Zhang. He’s a good fighter, but it’s my time. I’m going to destroy it, and you’ll see on fight night if I still have killer instinct or not. I see this as my last chance.
This time I really have nothing to lose and just have to win. I feel the urge to knock my opponent back. You’ll understand what I’m talking about on fight day,” BoxingScene quotes the American as saying.
Note that the Wilder-Zhilei fight will take place on June 1 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Let’s remember that Usik’s manager had previously assessed the chances of the fight with Fury being cut short.
