As if Zhilei Zhang wasn’t already intimidating—as if being 6′ 6″ with Thanos-like fists didn’t make your knees rattle, as if back-to-back knockout wins last year over granite-chinned Brit Joe Joyce weren’t enough—on this particular mid-November afternoon, inside a nondescript gun range in northern New Jersey, Zhang has his fingers wrapped around a Sig Sauer P365 XL. Guns, Zhang insists, were never his thing. His trainer, Shaun George, introduced him to recreational shooting a few years ago; Kurt Li, his co-manager, translator and, it turned out, part-time range safety officer, showed him the ropes. The first time he pulled a trigger, his hands trembled.
Zhang’s name was briefly mentioned alongside ‘AJ’s before the former champion announced his upcoming Jermaine Franklin fight, but he says talks didn’t get any further than that despite his willingness. It was later reported that Joshua’s team opted against a southpaw after two consecutive losses to Usyk and to prepare him for potential future fights against orthodox opponents.
Why did Mike Tyson get a face tattoo? Tyson talked about his decision to get a tattoo, citing a desire to assert his individuality and express himself artistically. For Tyson, a tattoo represents a form of self-expression and empowerment.

As challenger, Joyce walked to the ring first. His music began with Jeff Buckley’s ‘Hallelujah’ and soon turned into a vastly different vibe – a rap song with the chorus “You don’t want to war with big Juggernaut”.
“A little bit more practise . Zhang is a fellow silver medallist, he’s good fighter and hits hard. He’s an awkward style because he’s a southpaw and a powerful southpaw at that. I just couldn’t get away, I kept getting hit by his left hand. I’m disappointed. I’d like to apologise to all my fans and supporters. I’ll be back. My journey’s not over. This is just a hurdle I’ve tripped over. I’ll be back.
Zhilei Zhang (Chinese: 张志磊; pinyin: Zhāng Zhìlěi; born May 2, 1983) is a Chinese professional boxer. He held the World Boxing Organization (WBO) interim heavyweight title between 2023 and March 2024. As of June 2024, Zhang is ranked as the world’s fifth-best active heavyweight by The Ring magazine.
Op 20 augustus 2022 verloor Zhang van de Kroaat Filip Hrgović door een controversiële jurybeslissing, die gepromoveerd werd tot verplichte uitdager van de IBF-titel. Vervolgens vocht hij op 15 april 2023 tegen de eveneens ongeslagen Britse WBO-interim-titelhouder Joe Joyce. Zhang won het gevecht middels een technische knock-out, nadat de scheidsrechter het gevecht stopte vanwege een ernstige zwelling in het rechteroog van Joyce. Op 23 september 2023 won hij de rematch tegen Joyce door een KO in de derde ronde.
The victory made it a clean sweep for Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions, which was squaring off with rival U.K. promoter Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing in a unique 5 vs. 5 team concept created by Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority.
