It appears Zhilei Zhang is parlaying his prolific knockout win against Joe Joyce into a world title shot. Top Rank boss Bob Arum said Zhang is the leading candidate to fight WBC and Ring Magazine heavyweight champion Tyson Fury later this summer.

This is the opportunity Fury has been praying for and the miracle may have finally arrived.

He can accept to fight Zhang, fake an injury in camp (expect also fake surgery) get the hell out of dodge without fighting Zhang and use this as an excuse to have the rest of year off escaping his Saudi Arabia nightmare unfolding with Usyk.

Then we can expect to see him back on the ring against Charr for a tune up from his “injury” in March/April 2024.

Good fight if he gets made but I think Zhang's style is relatively easy for Fury. Zhang has a clean boxing style, where Fury would use his long jab, movement, size and his herky-jerky-awkward style to neutralize Zhang's offensive.

Fury will piece Zhang up. His issue is with small guys like Usyk and Cunningham with their movement.

Good thing hw don't have to weight cut. Fury is dodging a surging Usyk hoping he gets dropped or such in the mean time fury is only looking for fights vs winnable opps.though this Zhang fight will be closer than people think

Well, it's a big fight. Zhang may old enough for Fury to risk it. If Fury comes into the proposed fight with his belly hanging from his trunks he might miscalculate what Zhang has left and get knocked out. He won't clinch Zhang and put his weight down on him. Zhang is too big and has quick hands.

No, his issue is vs. guys can who box and have quick hands. Fury has only fought one of those types. I think the southpaw Zhang can expose Fury for what he is. Maybe even upset him.
