Chinese heavyweight Zhilei Zhang, also known as "Big Bang," has issued a second challenge to Anthony Joshua in just three days following Joshua's recent victory over Otto Wallin. Zhang believes that a fight between him and Joshua would be highly entertaining and draw a massive global audience.
Explosive Potential
Zhang, standing at 6ft 6ins tall, claims that a match-up between him and Joshua would be far more exciting and commercially successful than a potential fight between Joshua and Croatia's Filip Hrgovic. Zhang has built a reputation for delivering thrilling fights and believes that his history with Joshua would make their bout a must-watch event.
The Rematch
Zhang, who suffered a defeat at the hands of Joshua during the 2012 Olympics, expressed a desire to avenge that loss. He stated that both fighters have come a long way since then and that it's time to give boxing fans around the world an unforgettable showdown.
AJ's Likely Opponent
Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn has indicated that Hrgovic is the frontrunner for Joshua's next fight. Hrgovic's victory over Joseph Parker has positioned him as a strong contender. Additionally, a potential future match against the winner of Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk is also on the horizon for Joshua.
Unleashing Fireworks
Zhang believes that Joshua's previous opponents, who were all southpaws like Zhang, have prepared Joshua well for their potential clash. He is confident that a fight between them would be explosive and captivating for fans worldwide.
It remains to be seen whether Joshua will accept Zhang's challenge or opt for a different opponent. Fans will eagerly await the decision, as Joshua continues to make waves in the heavyweight boxing realm.
