Former WBO interim heavyweight titleholder Zhilei Zhang has expressed his views on the potential matchup between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.
Zhilei Zhang, quoted by Secondsout
I don’t think that fight means a lot in terms of belts and championships because that fight has been discussed for years. I think it’s a good way to see who is one of the best heavyweights in the UK, but other than that, I don’t see any meaning for that fight other than bluster.
On December 21 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Fury suffered a unanimous decision loss to Oleksandr Usyk. He holds a record of 34 wins (24 by knockout), two losses, and one draw.
