Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang Headline Queensberry vs. Matchroom
Zhang Stuns Wilder with Uppercut in Saudi Arabia
Zhang unloaded an uppercut that stunned Wilder in their heavyweight bout on June 1 at the Freedom Arena in Riyadh Saudi Arabia. The Chinese boxer took the fight to the former WBC champion, landing several clean punches and forcing Wilder to retreat in the early rounds.
The Bronze Bomber Returns
Wilder, known as the "Bronze Bomber," was making his return to the ring after a year-long absence. The American boxer had lost his WBC title to Tyson Fury in their second fight in February 2020. Wilder has since been working his way back to the top of the heavyweight division, and a win over Zhang would have put him in a good position to challenge for a world title again.
Zhang's Impressive Performance
Zhang, who is ranked No. 15 by the WBO, put in a career-best performance against Wilder. The Chinese boxer showed excellent footwork and movement, making it difficult for Wilder to land his power punches. Zhang also showed a willingness to take risks, landing several counterpunches that caught Wilder off guard.
Wilder's Next Move
After the fight, Zhang said he was open to a rematch with Wilder. However, it is unclear what Wilder's next move will be. The American boxer has said that he is focused on regaining his WBC title, but he may also consider a fight against Andy Ruiz Jr. or Anthony Joshua.
