Zhilei Zhang is certain that he will obstruct promoter Eddie Hearn’s efforts to secure Deontay Wilder by compelling him to retire following their upcoming showdown this Saturday evening in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Should Wilder emerge victorious against Zhang, Hearn is likely to ink a deal with him and potentially arrange a bout with Anthony Joshua. However, Wilder has hinted at the possibility of retiring should he lose this bout, indicating that this could be his final fight.
Wilder, who has been dealing with challenges related to absorbing punches in recent matches, may find himself facing obstacles against Zhang. Some observers speculate that Wilder’s substantial earnings from his previous encounters with Tyson Fury may have impacted his drive and commitment.
With sheer determination to claim victory, Zhang is confident that he will quash Wilder’s aspirations by defeating him. He has put in rigorous training to rectify past errors, particularly focusing on addressing stamina issues from his previous fight with Joseph Parker.
Zhang’s belief in his rigorous training regimen and readiness for the upcoming fight against Wilder is evident as he strives to secure a win and disrupt any plans for Wilder’s future in the sport.
