Interim WBO heavyweight champion Zhang Zhilei expressed his desire to fight Tyson Fury after his victory over Joseph Joyce.
Zhang Zhilei for iFL TV's YouTube channel
I want to fight for the championship belt. A fight with Tyson Fury? Let's do it. I want it, I'm interested in that kind of fight, and my team wants it. I can knock Fury out. He doesn't have a chin, so he'll be destroyed.
Recall that on the night of April 16 in London, Britain, Zhilei defeated Joe Joyce by technical knockout to become the interim WBO heavyweight champion.
Zhilei, 39, fought in August 2022 against Croatian Filip Hrgović. At the end of 12 rounds all judges gave the victory to Hrgović. The Chinese boxer has 25 wins (20 KOs), one loss and one draw.
