    Joshua is lacking in confidence and doesn’t know what style he should fight with. That could be a recipe for disaster against Zhang.

      Asking the question about whether Joshua would go to Zhang is very odd.

      Why would Zhang go to Joshua?

      He's the interim champion, highly regarded all of a sudden, with a billion Chinese ready to watch him go for a world title. Why on earth would he fight Joshua now?

        Zhang lost by DQ for hitting Hrgovic behind the head so his 2 fights with Joyce didn't count as WBO eliminators and Joyce is still the mandatory challenger for the WBO title, now held by Daniel Dubois.

        Will Dubois duck The Juggernaut or rematch him for the WBO title? Frank Warren has a big decision to make there.

            Big Baby Miller vs Zhang would be a fun fight. Big Baby Miller would try to smother Zhang with volume punches and whale blubber, which may throw Zhang off and get him tired before he can land a big ****.

                Only way that any big name fights him is if the fighter over rules their promoter and forces it, which we have been seeing more and more of, crawford-spence getting made, canelo-bivol, and I think AJ might actually be ok with fighting Zhang, I know damn sure his managers dont want it
                Zhang is WBO mandatory. he can sit on his ass, having stay busy fights, he will get his shot.

                  For money. Zhang vs Joshua in the UK would be a stadium fight.

                  And Zhang isn’t getting a shot at Usyk anytime soon since he has to wait behind Hrgovic who he was robbed against.

                    He will have to wait until Hrgovic get his shot first.

                    Why not cash out against Joshua instead of waiting? He’s 40 years old.

                      Is Joshua feeling confident enough to consider getting in there with Zhang, perhaps in a big stadium fight in the UK?
                      You must be joking. He was scared fighting Helenius who can't crack an egg. He's not going to chance the rest of his career on a threat with no drawing power.
