Heavyweight contender Zhilei Zhang has given his thoughts ahead of the undisputed clash between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk.
Fury and Usyk are set to face each other on February 17 to decide the number one in the division – the first time such a champion has been crowned since the days of Lennox Lewis.
‘The Gypsy King’ was a heavy favourite in the eyes of most before his fight against Francis Ngannou last month. The former UFC champion shocked the world when he knocked Fury down in the third round and only lost by a close split decision on the scorecards.
Before that night, Zhang, who is coming off a second knockout victory over Joe Joyce, was confident that Fury would relieve Usyk of his belts
Zhang is currently in the WBO mandatory position and could be in line for a shot at the title in 2024 if he maintains his winning form..
