Zhilei Zhang (27:2:1) go to be the man who most probably has put an end to Deontay Wilder’s (43:4:1) career after a fifth round KO in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, this weekend.
The fight was relatively boring up to that moment when the Bronze Bomber tried do start an exchange but he was caught with a right hook to the nose. The he gave his back trying to escape but this was s rookies mistake followed by another right jab from the Big Bang that ended the fight.
This is the fourth loss for the American in his last five fights and most probably this is going to be his last dance in the ring. He even shared such thought in the build-up to the challenge and maybe it is truly time to call it a day.
Zhang on the other hand will be pushing for the title shot despite the fact that he is 41 years old. A fight against Anthony Joshua or Daniel Dubois is the way to go for him before he can really challenge Oleksandr Usyk in the next year or two.
