    It would be cool, but I doubt.

      Fury doesn't want to fight any more southpaws.

      Look what Wallin did.

      Zhang has power too.

        Fury can fight jon Jones next no problem. Then fight zhang. It's his Ali v foreman fight.

        Fury only had 30ish fights that's not much, he's got room for usy k and Josh too.

          If Fury doesn't fight Usyk, then I'd like to see the Zhang fight but I'm not sure Fury takes it.

          Would love to see Wilder-Zhang too but I doubt Wilder would want that since he doesn't even seem keen on fighting Ruiz.

              If Fury is looking for $$ I wonder if they could make this fight in Beijing...I'd guarantee this would be an easy 100M purse for Fury if not more

                Fury ducked Joyce, so for fury to not fight Zhang too doesnt bear thinking.

                  Zhang vs Fury, I think is a bigger business fight than Fury vs Usyk.

                  So now Fury is set on fighting Usyk his hardcore fans say? Ether which way I think Fury is backed into a corner now.

                  He ether fights Usyk next or Zhang if 'Zhang does not fight Usyk'.

                  I think Fury is 1-2 fights away from people instructing the WBC to strip him of his titles 'If he continues to fight non professional boxers or Heavyweights ranked outside the Top-10'.

                  Fury will ether vacate his titles, and proclaim that this lineal title is 'All that matters'.

                  I rate Tyson Fury as the number 1 Heavyweight in the game 'Because he has two mega wins on his resume'. But I don't think he is the lineal Champion, when he disappeared from the game and did not rematch Kiltschko unfortunately 'That lineal title was thrown out into the division somewhere'.

                  Only when a Heavyweight becomes undisputed Champion during this era, will the lineal title be given to that fighter.

                  So I see posters saying? Fury has defended his lineal title 6-7 times, making up all these statistics 'And attempting to rank him close to fighters like Mike Tyson, Lennox Lewis. Hardcore Fury fans need to in all honesty stop betraying and lying to themselves, Fury reign is one of the worst WBC Heavyweight reigns I have seen in the past 25 years'.

                  Note:

                  Fury has defended his WBC Heavyweight title 4 times, twice vs Wilder, and then against Whyte and Chisora 'That is it'. The Wilder fights were great the trilogy was awesome, and a mega win for Fury 'But to me? It looks like since that trilogy, Fury no longer is enthusiastic in fighting other top level Heavyweight fighters'.

                  People mock Anthony Joshua because he lost to Ruiz I 'They say things like? Joshua is not the same fighter anymore, he is petrified he is this and that'.

                  Fury talks a lot, but is Tyson Fury the same fighter since Wilder battered him? Don't listen to what Fury says, watch his behavior 'Why can't Fury just be straight forward during fight negotiations, why does he always have to create some sort of angle i.e Making fight offers at short notice, giving unreasonable split percentages.

                  Tyson Fury has had one tough rivalry, and to me it looks like 'He wants out of the game, in the sense? That he does not want to play by the same rules as other past all-time great Champions'.

                  Note: I would still back Fury to beat Zhang 'But it is a interesting stylistic match up, Zhang has punching power and he is a capable boxer' etc.

                    this is their first and last chance to break into the Chinese market with a 40 yo Chinese KO artist in a world heavyweight championship fight. First time in Chinese history. They can do this once or never again in their life time.


                    they will make big money


                    usyk’s team is not easy to negotiate with and he doesn’t bring the audience Zhang would.
                    Oh, they say Usyk and his team are very easy to negotiate. But whatever, the man dishonestly escaped a fight he seemingly accepted and tried to blame it entirely on the other side. The next thing was he faked a low blow again and won dishonestly (lost in a pathetic manner, crawling and twitching on the canvas). So from this point of view, maybe Zhang is a good opponent for Fury, but Zhang himself has a questionable draw against Jerry Forrest and lost against Hrgovic (the fight is a draw, at best). At least, he is motivated and well-preserved for his age and may be a good warm-up fight for Fury, but a potential one that must not be an obstacle for the bigger between Fury and Usyk.

                    A very good scenario would be for IBF to order Usyk to defend his title in the next 4 months. The same timeline for Fury and his WBC belt and it's here where we can have Zhang, but there are two problems: Zhang is not WBC-listed; he's a WBA mandatory for Usyk after Hrgovic.

                      If Fury wants a real boxing match, than Zhang is the biggest fight. Chinese KO artist fighting unbeaten Englishman for WBC title. Holy sh.it, you can actually sell this anywhere.
