zhang boxer next fight
Apart from the belated release from the Chinese boxing authorities and the promotional companies' fiasco, Zhang's peak years were also squandered because of visa troubles as a Chinese citizen which led to the cancellation of several bouts. While he stuck outside the U.S., his form dropped as he could not train as he usually did.
Joyce (15-1, 14 KOs) stepped into the ring with a burgeoning reputation on the back of his big wins over Daniel Dubois and Joseph Parker and was viewed by many as the good news story that a glamour division in stasis required.
The 26,000 seat soccer stadium played host to the undisputed heavyweight championship fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk on May 18. It was also the location of Anthony Joshua's fight against Francis Ngannou in March.
Zhang was highly regarded by American promoters by 2009 but his career stalled between 2009 and 2019 owing to a combination of his duties to Chinese national boxing obligations, mismanagement and accompanying legal issues, and his visa problems. Until Zhang signed with Matchroom Sport USA in 2020 at 37 years of age, he was excluded from boxing's top ranks.
Zhang’s professional journey began in August 2014, marking over nine years of dedication and relentless pursuit of excellence. With 25 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw under his belt, he has proven his mettle time and again. What truly sets him apart is his remarkable knockout ratio of 80%, having stopped 20 of his opponents in their tracks. This statistic showcases his power and ability to end fights decisively.
8:57pm BST/4:57pm ET: Dovbyshchenko has not just gone one round with the young wrecking machine, he’s managed two. Itauma opened up by firing home a thudding southpaw left. Dovbyshchenko rocked back on heels a couple of times but his ability to take a shot meant we were treated to a glimpse of Itauma’s repertoire. Lovely variety, sharp reflexes and he goes to the body particularly viciously. He’s even taken a shot to two back and appears to have a slight graze on the bridge of his nose. Still, this is brutal one-way traffic. Dovbyshchenko just waved Itauma in after a pair of clattering head shots, in the third which is entirely mad, but he’s winning friends here.
The rubber match ended when Wilder suffered his second defeat at the hands of Fury, this time getting knocked out in round 11. Wilder came back to win once by knockout in 2022 before suffering his third career defeat to Joseph Parker in December of last year.
9:12pm BST/5:12pm ET: That's something for the admirably durable Dovbyshchenko to tell the grandchildren about one day as he battles to the final bell without suffering a knockdown. Itauma seemed to enjoy the chance to showcase his skills, never really pushing for the stoppage until the final seconds. It's still hard to tell against an opponent of limited ambition, but Itauma absolutely looks to the real deal - a beautifully well-rounded boxer who lives up to the sparring stories that are already the stuff of legend. Remember the name.
