Dereck Chisora is sure that on June 1st at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, heavyweight Zhilei Zhang will knock out former WBC champion Deontay Wilder in their upcoming twelve-round match. Chisora anticipates that this defeat could potentially mark the end of Wilder’s boxing career.
Chisora suggests that Wilder, who is already financially secure with a net worth of about $50 million, may no longer have the same hunger for victory that he once had. He highlights Wilder’s recent losses and doubts in his own skills as factors that could hinder his performance against the powerful Zhang.
Recent struggles in Wilder’s fights, including his defeats by Tyson Fury, have raised alarms about his mental state and willingness to take risks in the ring. Chisora observes that Wilder appears hesitant to unleash his renowned right hand and might be feeling cautious following his recent downfalls.
In a bold prediction, Chisora forecasts that Wilder will be knocked out by Zhang and subsequently retire from professional boxing. He questions what motivation Wilder would have to continue fighting if he experiences another defeat, especially in light of his recent track record.
