Tyson Fury is set to return in July
Joe Joyce looked in line to challenge the WBC champion in the summer until his shock loss to Zhang.
And now the 2012 Olympic silver medalist has emerged as a shock alternative to fight Fury.
Zhang told iFL TV, Zhang said: “I just came back from my vacation, so everything is fresh to me.
“I believe that my team has made communications with their team on that matter.”
He added: “Let’s do it Tyson. If you’re looking at July, I’ll be ready for you in July.”
But Zhang, 39, could also be drawn into a second fight with Joyce, 37, due to a rematch clause in the Brit’s contract.
It leaves Andy Ruiz Jr, 33, as a frontrunner to welcome Fury, 34, back to the ring.
And the Mexican-American added fuel to the fire after re-sharing a mocked up fight poster of the two.
It read: “Tyson Fury vs Andy Ruiz Jr is official! July 22nd.”
And he accompanied it with an emoji of the UK flag.
But despite Ruiz’s tease, Hall of Fame promoter Warren told Boxing News that no deal is set in stone.

Punching Techniques
There are seven types. Each punch has its own technique. Some punches require more strength than others. An uppercut, for instance, requires tremendous strength. A straight punch, on the other hand requires less power and is quicker than other punches.
There are also many combinations. These are combinations made up of several punches that can be used together to achieve one goal. One combination can have many parts. For example, a left hook followed by a right cross will cause damage to the opponent’s jaw.
Guard Techniques
To defend himself from being attacked, a boxer uses his entire body. He does this by using his legs, arms, elbows, hands, knees and feet.
Legs
To defend against kicks, a boxer should use his legs. He raises his leg when he is hit with a kick and then moves away from the opponent. To avoid being kicked on the sides, he bends at his knees when the attacker strikes from the front. If the attack is from the side, he will bend his knees to avoid being kicked on the side.
Elbows
Because they inflict pain, elbow strikes can be very effective. An elbow strike can be delivered directly or indirectly. Directly means that your opponent is hit with your forearm. However, indirectly means that your elbow strike is delivered with another part or your arm.
Hands
Boxers use the power of their hands to block any incoming blows. To do this, they raise their fists higher than their heads and move their arms in the direction that the attack is coming. The attacker’s fist is then in their face.
Knees
Boxers should bend their knees when receiving blows to the abdomen, stomach, or chest. For defense purposes, knee strikes are common.
Feet
If he is being attacked, a boxer must take a step back and counter-attack. This will allow him to gain distance from his opponent. A boxer must also maintain his balance when responding to an opponent’s counter-attack.
Stances
To box effectively, a boxer must establish a stance. His stance determines how he defends himself. It determines where he will face his opponent and how he will position his body. Boxers have many stances to choose from. These are the most popular:
- Low stance
- High stance
- Southpaw stance
- Western stance
The Body Movement
In order to win a fight, a boxer must move around his opponent. This requires changing your position, speed, and rhythm.
Rotation
A boxer will rotate his arm when he is throwing a punch. The rotation is done at different speeds depending on the type of punch.
Combinations
The timing of each punch determines the effectiveness of a combination. A combination that works well starts with strong punches and ends with weak ones is a winning combination.
Spare parts
Sparring is a training session that improves boxing skills. Sparring allows a boxer to improve his mental and physical skills. Sparring is a way to learn how to fight without getting hurt.
It is important to be patient and dedicated when learning how to box. You need to train hard and long in order to become a better boxer.
