    Surely Zhang is small favourite. Bigger, more skilled, comparable speed and power.

    Odds will be interesting though.

    If Zhang lands big, at 210-20 he’s going our way worse than Joyce. It’ll look ugly.

    Wilder may be able to one shot him though. I’d say 70-30 Zhang

    I thought Parker and Zhang were doing a rematch?

    Zhang is going to KO Wilder early I think.

    Wilder carries his power all the way through twelve, whilst Zhang's gas tank is the worst amongst the top heavyweights. Presuming Wilder can keep himself safe in the first few rounds then he should KO Zhang.

    Zhang will win
    Does this free up Aj vs Parker?

    Make that fight also. Let's see if Joshua can put away someone who hits back. It will be better preparation for fury/usyk than another stay busy fight

    Are you saying that Parker and Zhang are better than wallin and Ngannou? Lol

    Joshua is on crusade to beat all Fury opponents in better fashion. Rumour has it McDermott is coming out of retirement to Fight Joshua at Wembley in the summer, then Steve Cunningham in the Autumn

    Because he lost. He must build himself AGAIN if he want be in biggest fight.
    His last win was Helenius after not full 3 minutes in few years now. You cant build whole career on 3 Fury loss from past.

    Aj winning doesn't exclude him from fighting better competition it should be the opposite. aj is privileged and he'll be given another free shot at the belts

    I'd assume Saudi's didn't want it given how one sided it was and Zhang too probably didn't fancy it either and so has decided not to activate his rematch clause.
