    First of June in Riyadh. Part of the supercard with Beterbiev vs. Bivol main eventing.

    Twelve rounds scheduled at heavyweight, for really no good reason. No hardware in the kitty and this is, rightfully, not even an eliminator as both men are coming directly off losses. :nusenuse: Hate when they do this. It's okay for "big-name stars" to fight in ten rounders if they're currently empty handed...

    Zhang KO5 but I'll be rooting for Wilder by KO because it's a pretty winnable fight, Zhang is kinda vulnerable to the right, his feet aren't very fast, he's a big target and his gas tank sucks, but Zhangs pressure and power will prove to be too much

    With Zhang's awful stamina, if Wilder fights a smart fight (and I know it's Wilder so that's a big if), then he should survive the first few rounds where Zhang is dangerous and KO him late.

    EVERYONE STAY CALM

    Zhang is style made for Wilder. A big useless lump for him to explode on.

    Zhang is just as equally dangerous...

    • Deontay Wilder vs Zhilei Zhang
    • Filip Hrgovic vs Daniel Dubois
    • Raymond Ford vs Nick Ball
    • Ammo Williams vs Hamzah Shiraz
    • Craig Richards vs Willy Hutchinson

    Sweet fight! I think Zhang is gonna knock his block off but Wilder is fresher and may have enough left in the tank to come in hot. Could be a great fight!

    Whoever wins this has just refreshed his career though.

    First 4 rounds, I favor Zhang.

    After 4 rounds, I favor Wilder due to Zhang's awful stamina.

    Wilder's done. After Fury III he can only knock out washed up fighters like Helenius. His right hand scares nothing by now. Yeah his chin held with Parker, but it wont hold with Zhang. Im sure, 100%. Wilders career's finished and Fury's too facing Usyk. And all this will be a very good thing for boxing.

    This fight is still a good match up and I would have favoured Wilder big time against Zhang but the passive version of Wilder with no menace and ring presence that lost to Parker looked shot,I’m hoping Wilder can pull it off so time will tell !
