Comments Thread For: Zhilei Zhang Ready, Willing To Fight Anthony Joshua Next: Send The Contract Over

[hugh grant]

Nobody wants Zhang yet as they're busy with wanting other fighters. Usyk/fury, josh\wilder then who's left?
Francis, ddd, Ortiz, are good I guess. Andy Ruiz maybe?

No reason for AJ to fight him. Wilder is the fight on the board or Ngannou.

the big 4 is freezing everyone out. it's frankly destroying boxing.


Wilder, Usyk, Joshua and Fury. they are only willing to fight each other or complete bums.


how is this charade being allowed to carry on is beyond me

Wouldn't that require Wilder and AJ to be willing to fight each other? Also Fury hasn't gotten in the ring with Usyk either. Usyk is the only one of the 4 who's really fought ranked opponents. If you count BoxRec, he's fought top 15 guys in his last 4 fights, and top 5 in his last 3, although why Quitter Dubois is #4 is beyond me. The rest have been passing the time fighting lesser competition.

Good fight for Joshua

reality is Joshua isn’t making more than 7-8m per fight unless the fight is with wilder or fury

so all other fights will net him the same money pretty much. What Joshua needs is first a confidence booster, and beating a good heavyweight would do just that for himself mentally, and secondly beating zhang gets him noticed again.

I think joshua steam rolls him

they are holding the sport up with the excuse of making this fight in the near future. it's permanently 4 months away.

Usyk just beat Dubois and before that Joshua twice - don't see how you can knock his resume

Joshua is allergic to fast hands

[mrbig1]

AJ's glass jaw wants to part of Zhang. Only a very big payday is what he wants. Wilder is that man. I think AJ wants to walk away from boxing for good.

lol Zhang is a counter-puncher with fast hands. Joshua might not recover after the first time he gets touched. His brain gets scrambled when he gets hit these days.
