    After two straight wins against Joyce he should be eligible to fight for the title...

    Absolutely. In case Usyk beats Hrgovic and Fury still won't find his b***s to face him (he never will), Zhang should get the chance to fight for the title.

    He'll probably be Fury's 3rd opponent replacing the bum bodybuilder AJ

    Usyk will get his fight and rematch first. Zhang will be Fury's easy retirement fight.

    Before he makes a comeback aged 42

    What next? Wait for titlle shot or looking for other good money fight...
    He will have mandatory soo he will be at quiet good place.
    Problem with his position is that Usyk first must fight Filip Hrgovic. That's not all. Zhang cant be sure that next Usyk dont go for unification fight. Unification fight? Soo i guess they dont accept it without rematch clause. Soo it can be long time waiting for him.

    But who give him good fight with good money without belts? No idea. He is dangerous fighter and risk can be not worthy.

    I'm hoping that if he wins next Saturday the next time he steps in the ring will be with Usyk.

    I know this is going to sound dumb, but this is one of my dark horse dream fights. When I got into boxing a couple years back, Usyk and Zhang were two of the first boxers I got interested in. I never considered the possibility of them boxing, not even after Usyk got the belts from AJ. That notion didn't occur to me until Zhang-Hrgovic was made for the IBF mandatory, and I was incredibly disappointed when he lost. Figured the odds of it ever happening had vanished, along with any hopes Zhang had at a title given his age.

    Then the Zhang-Joyce fight was announced and I was pumped for that too, though I figured he'd end up losing outside of getting a knockout or a TKO, which I didn't see as being likely. Then that's exactly what he did, and I was overjoyed. I like Joe and all but I hope Zhang can pull it off again so that there can still be a chance of him facing off against Usyk.

    I know it's a silly dream fight to have, but they were two of the first boxers I got interested in and I always enjoy their fights. It'd be the first big fight where I could say I was genuinely a big fan of both guys for awhile, which I've yet to really get to see. I think that'd be a cool experience to have.

    Zhang will face Usyk and Hrgovic will face Wilder

    And Fury will retire and make millions with his reality show lmao

    Zhang deserves a money fight to go out on. Whether that's AJ, Wilder, Usyk, or Fury, he's earned the right to a big payday.
