Who’s next for Zhilei Zhang?
Chinese Heavyweight Zhilei Zhang would love to fight against WBC champion Tyson Fury, says his co-manager Terry Lane.
The two were near the deal earlier this year, but then Joe Joyce derailed the discussions after activating immediate rematch clause to force second fight with Zhang. Zhang stopped Joyce on 3rd round on their second fight on Saturday and now he is waiting for next step.
He is WBO Interim champion, so could be also official challenger of Oleksandr Usyk according to WBO. But Lane say that Zhang prefers Tyson Fury.
“We would love to fight Fury, but I do believe they are trying to make Fury vs Usyk next,” Lane told Sky Sports.
