    You heard it here first: Whyte is fighting Zhilei Zhang next

    Just a prediction from me based on an interview Boxing Social did with Dillian Whyte. The interviewer got Whyte to reveal that his opponent will be announced soon and that his opponent is a Chinese Heavyweight.

    Zhilei Zhang recently signed a deal with Hearn. He is Chinese...the only other Chinese Heavyweight I can think of is his brother Junlong Zhang.

    Couldn't be anymore obvious right? What do y'all think of this fight? I like it, Zhilei Zhang was a pretty good amateur.

    I was hoping for Povetkin or Kabayel. Is Zhang any good?

      In the amateurs he was...haven't really seen that much of him in the pro ranks. He won a Silver medal at the Olympics. 2 Bronze medals at the World Championships and a Gold medal at the Asian Games and Asian Championships.

        Whatever happened to that other huge Chinese HW fighting out of the US? Taisan or something was his name...

        Edit: It was Taishan Dong. Not fought since 2015 weesh.

          So Whyte goes from a mega Joshua fight to this one who if you've seen Zhang is pretty terrible for peanuts ,honestly he looks older then Ortiz too . . Ha

            Finally the mythical Chinese giant takes on a worthy opponent.

            I've been waiting to see what Big **** Zhang is really made of.

              Zhang? This is interesting, he didn't do much in pro so far. Is fight in China? That's where Zhang fights.

                Haha, did you make the bit up about the opponent being Chinese, OP? I saw the interview where Dillian said his opponent will hopefully be undefeated, but didn't see the Chinese statement... I was under the impression he was talking about Agit Kabayel or Sergey Kuzmin.

                  And FYI, Zhilei Zhang would be a worse opponent than Tom Schwarz.

                    Watch again... carefully.

                    The interviewer said "can you tell us something we don't know yet?" to Dillian Whyte. Whyte then responded with "He's Chinese"...then the interviewer responded "So maybe Zhilei Zhang?", Whyte then smiled
