Fury eyeing bout with Zhang in China

Fury would love this fight, probably, ton of money and a comfortable win most likely. But the fanbase shouldn't support it. The best thing would be that Fury has no choice but to face Usyk. We don't want him being able to cash in on favourable matchups like this and continue to mess everyone around.

The pattern with Fury is that if the opponent is slow he has little trouble with them.
He has a significant speed advantage against most tall fighters and also against those shorter fatsos. And he outboxes them.
Wilder and Wlad were dangerous not just because of power but because he couldn't just run circles around them, they were fast for SHWs.

This Zhang guy isn't fast and he's old. Having some power gives him a chance, but Fury likely avoids the worst of it, comfortably wins and comes home with another fortune, making him even harder for Usyk to deal with, because now Fury expects paychecks of Chinese state propaganda level.

 

100% will not happen. Zhang is too dangerous. Winner of Chisora-Whyte III.

 

Fury is all talk these days. Still ducking Usyk, the proverbial elephant in the room.

 

Financially speaking it would be a smart move. China are keen to start holding International sporting events again and they would certainly put a lot of money into this.

The only danger is that Fury would probably have to knock Zhang out to get a draw. China having a World Heavyweight Champion is too tempting a prize for the CCP to pass up.

 

A lot safer fighting Old Bang Zhang than Usyk, innit?

 

Man I would LMFAO if it happened and Zhang murked Fury and KOd him. Would serve him TF right.

 

Fury don't fight someone who has both skills and power.

 

The Sun not pulling any punches in the opening paragraph

"The cash-crazed 34-year-old WBC champ blew the undisputed decider with WBA, IBF and WBO king Oleksandr Usyk by moving the goalposts over money."

Lol

 

Good fight if it happens and interesting to see it in China - they've the money and will do it top level because of the positive it'll bring them. And why not having China as another location for big events - maybe will open the door to many Asian athletes. "Diversity", right? Will Fury agree to China - why not, he beat Wlad and Wilder on their own soil and was willing to fight more in US, but the ban came.

Zhang is wrong about one thing - that Fury doesn't have the chin - how many survived Wilder's devastating punch? A knockdown doesn't mean "not a good chin" - such is observed when you're lost in space after a knockdown you when you easily get knocked out. Not to remind Joyce's knockouts as an amateur. Also, how many big names Zhang knocked? It's not like he did it to Joyce, it was a doctor's stoppage. He wasn't able to knockout Jerry Forrest after three knockdowns, he didn't even win the fight.

 

Fury has an incurable case of Verbal Diarrhoea.

 

I hope Zhang is juiced out of his nuts if this happens and Fury isn't allowed to take a paracetemol for a headache. I then hope Fury gets chinned and the CCP anthem plays in the background

That will make up for all the f*ckery and silly games he has been playing for the last few years.

 

Would be an interesting fight. You've got someone with power not too far from Wilder but can actually box and throw volume unlike Wilder.

If Fury shows up fat and out of shape, then this could be a slug fest, but I'm Fury by UD or late stoppage.
