Comments Thread For: Zhilei Zhang Emerges As Frontrunner To Fight Tyson Fury In July

[Bob]

I TOLD YOU!
Fury Zhang in China sells out 20 stadium's & we've all seen Fury is now all about the money. Chinese tv, possibly biggest ppv in history.

Run it!

If Fury still has any drive left in him it Zhang should be an easyish night's work.

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.

Zhang only looked fast against Joyce..... Everyone does!
Name a better boxer than Fury with fast hands in the top 10??
Only Usyk & id still pick Fury to maul him. Let's hope no matter who it is we get undesputed in December.

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.

Again, Zhang has only ever looked fast against Joyce..... Everyone does!

Fury's taller & as heavy as Zhang with a better gas tank. When Fury wants it at range it will be boxed at range, when Fury sees weakness & wants to clinch Fury will lean on, maul & gas Zhang.

Like most of Ajs defences against shot 38-41 year olds Fury only has to make it halfway & the old man will be spitting bubbles.

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

I agree about piecing Zhang up.
Apart from a 1 cracking punch by Cunningham with Fury's feet under him Fury never struggled, he out boxed & mauled the smaller guy.

"We're focussing on the Chinese kid."

Arum is like Monty Burns. Who is that young Chinese go getter? I like the cut of his jib.

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.

most likely scenerio.


Tyson Fury is a roided joke

Where would TR promote this fight -- China?

[champion4ever]

Then bring it! Let's get it on! It's a very interesting match up. The question is what shape Tyson Fury's legs are in; Because he is going to need them against Zhilei Zhang?

Fury would finally meet his match when it comes to size, power and girth. Outweighing his opponents by some 50 odd pounds will be over against Zhang.

Let's see Tyson lay on Zhang like he did the basketball player Deontay Wilder.

Are Top Rank even part of this, other than a watching from outside role?

Fury isn't allowed to fight in the US and Queensbury have options on Zhang.

Bob doesn't have any input anymore on Fury.

Zhang's hands were visibly faster than Hrgo's. young undefeated olympic gold medalist
