If Fury's goal was to survive in the first half of the fight, and then come on stronger in the second half 'I think Fury could carry out this game plan'.
The question is, would it be a good enough game plan to beat Zhang?
Fury really does not have a super high work rate, and although his endurance is better than Zhang's 'Fury is no monster in this department, his endurance is completely overrated'.
Fury in his last real fight at top-level was badly fatigued from round 2 on wards vs Wilder III.
Fury most likely would still find a way to win, but is there really any point in talking up such a fight? Fury would fight Zhang for a title, but it would be highly uncharacteristic for team Fury to take such a fight 'When Fury is already the WBC Heavyweight Champion, and there are other big fights with rewards also in the workings'.
There was beginning to be some public pressure to make the Joyce fight. But now since Joyce has been beaten 'Well looks like that fight has lost momentum' etc.
