Dsalita Heavyweight Zhilei Zhang is gearing up to face Deontay Wilder in Saudi Arabia this weekend, and he sees Wilder as just as dangerous as he was in his prime. Despite acknowledging Wilder’s motivation for a comeback, Zhang is determined to thwart any plans the former champion may have of reclaiming his heavyweight throne.
When asked about his expectations for the fight, Zhang simply stated, “I know he’s coming to beat me, I know he’s coming to try to win and he has something to prove. So do I. Saturday night’s going to be fantastic.”
While some believe that Wilder is not the same fighter he once was, Zhang begs to differ. He still views Wilder as the formidable opponent he was in the past, but he is prepared to deny him the chance to make a triumphant return.
When questioned about what he brings to the table that may catch Wilder off guard, Zhang cryptically replied, “We really don’t know, we really can’t say. We’ll see what happens Saturday.”
Reflecting on Wilder’s lackluster performance in his last bout against Parker, Zhang commented, “He didn’t look so good in that fight. I don’t know what he’s been through personally in his training camp but I know this fight he’s prepared. I think he’s coming, trying to win.”
As for his prediction for the fight, Zhang confidently stated, “KO.”
When asked about Oleksandr Usyk’s recent victory over Tyson Fury, Zhang praised both fighters, emphasizing Usyk’s boxing skill and ring intelligence. He believes that Usyk’s prowess in the ring ultimately led to his victory over Fury.
In conclusion, Zhang is poised to face a motivated Deontay Wilder this weekend, and he is determined to emerge victorious and make a statement in the heavyweight division.
