Zhang is a promoter's wet dream.

[deathofaclown]

Zhang is much bigger fight for Fury than anybody else except maybe Usyk.

If you don`t see this, I don`t know what to tell you.

You are probably only looking for excuses for Fury to get another easy fight "because he beats everybody else".

Show me the proof of all these Zhang fans he can bring. Show me evidence of this huge Chinese boxing market and all these major boxing events held there.

Why is Zhang plying his trade on undercards on DAZN shows to half empty arenas when he's an old man, despite being an Olympic medallist for China?

Because China doesn't have the market you think it does. And its not like you can say fighters HAVE to fight in USA or UK to get established because thats where the money is. Inoue fights in Japan, the opponents go to him. Why is that possible? Because Japan has a market.

China doesnt and thats why no Chinese boxers are fighting there and luring opponents there because there's all this money to be made.

You're speculating about things that don't exist. i did say people would be interested but its nowhere near the level of what you think. You're talking about a place you've never been to, based on no evidence or stats to back it up. Some big heavyweight lummox is way way way way way down on the list of things considered important and notable in China.

So now you think Zhang goes from a mid card figter in half empty arenas in the back arse of nowhere in USA to bringing in millions of Chinese fans because he beat Joe Joyce? Listen to yourself. You're clearly not much of a thinker.

Zhang would be an easy fight for Fury but I'd happily see it next because a lot of people here will look ****** for hyping up an old C level fighter that beat someone that fights face first.

The same blah blah blah from you again.

You just keep on saying "Fury beats everybody" while you are fine with Fury fighting washed up Chisoras.

Zhang is a dangerous fight for Fury and you know that. That is why you don`t want this fight to happen.

Be fine, I am wasting my time with you. But I will always laugh at the idea that beating Seferi and Pianeta means somebody is top guy.

I wasn't happy with the chisora fight, didn't pay for it.

The only fight I wanna see is Usyk.

Happy to see Fury beat Zhang in first gear and watch the likes of yourself backtrack and say he was old etc. Its not a dangerous fight either.

Again, you couldnt provide any proof and I've made you look a mug and now you're "wasting your time" lol. Imagine getting chased out of this thread.

Your way of thinking is too basic, that's your problem.

[gauze]

I wasn't talking about Uzbekistan. I was talking about China and India. Chagaev is a light skinned man with Caucasian features. Not a guy who you think of when talking about Asians.

if it's not china or india or some guy with slanty eyes it doesn't count, got it.

[Superbee]

China: " Hey Fury! ... How about 1 billion to fight Zhang in Honk-Kong ? "

Fury: " 2 billions... take it or leave it ... "

China: " Ok... 2 Billions then... "

Fury: " Nahhhh.... make it 5 Billions or no fight ... "

[Dr. Z]

There's no world class Asians ie India or china in even lower divisions now also, which shows me they don't take boxing seriously. And if they did theyd at least have their boxers littered all over the lighter divisions right now.....but dont. The fa c.t. they don't is they dont take it serious.
If Ruiz can have success at 6ft, I dontbthink size is an issue. You don't need to be 6ft 6 like zhang. You can be 6ft 3 like usyk

How may 6'3" Indian or Chinese men do you know? New York City has a lot of them on the street and I never seen one 6'3" or over. Ever.

The NFL, NBA, NHL, and soccer have sports leagues you know and the Olympics have several games like track and field, power lifting, wrestling, etc... Also pro golf, tennis, swimming and only male athlete I can name of note in men's sports outside of Yao Ming. Surely there are more, right? Well, China had Zou Shiming medal as a flyweight. He was a decent professional.

According to you they don't take these games seriously? Again India and China have over a billion people each. They just are good at sports. But they do have a top 5 heavyweight and he has 300 million people staying up to the wee hours or the AM to watch him live.

The future of boxing in China is absolutely huge," Arum said. "They have the population and the money and now the interest. We've done fights in Beijing, Shanghai and Macao and we get tremendous audiences and they're beginning to understand it. It's becoming very popular both on television and on the internet. The future of boxing in China is very bright and it begins with Zou Shimg

The below article is dated and Pre Zhang big win.

Zhang is a 40 year old geriatric and the chinese nationals arent paying $80 PPVs they are just going to watch it on illegal streams if they watch it at all

[Malvado]

If Zhang became world champion there be a rise of Chinese fighters similiar to what happened with Pacquiao(Phillipines) and Golovkin(Kazakhstan/Uzbekistan). Be a pretty dumb move if Hearns or Arum did nothing about it.

Would really help the sport to have another huge following, both financially and entertainment wise.
