Zhilei Zhang knows that his conditioning will be the key in his fight against Agit Kabayel for the WBC -Tussentage heavyweight title on Saturday, February 22 in Riyadh. The loss of Zhang against Joseph Parker on March 8 last year resulted from his faded after three rounds.
Endurance key
Kabayel (25-0, 17 COs) will use the same defensive tactics as Parker did to tire Zhang and then move on in the second half to take advantage of his fatigue. It can be over if Zhang (27-2-1, 22 CO’s) catches Kabayel with one of his mighty counters. Even if the 6’6 ″ Zhilei is tired, she is still deadly.
We saw it in his fight against Parker. He was completely exhausted when he dropped Parker in the eighth round with a punch that looked like a sled hammer: no speed, but pure power.
“I know how to beat him, conditioning is a big part of it, and we worked very hard in the gym. I will bring something new, ”says Zhilei Zhang Pro Boxing fans When asked about his endurance problems before his fight against unbeaten contender Agitl Kabayel this Saturday night.
“He is fierce, young and hungry, and comes to the (WBC interim heavyweight) belt. I give him a lot of respect, ”Zhang said when asked what he thought of Kabayel.
‘Both are wonderful fighters and big people. Personally, I think Dubois will win, ”Zhilei said when asked who the Daniel Dubois is fighting against Joseph Parker this Saturday.
It is a no-brainer that IBF heavyweight champion Daniel Dubois (22-2, 21 CO’s) will defeat Parker (35-3, 23 COs) in their fellow battle this Saturday night in Riyadh. Dubois has too much firepower, youth and momentum in this battle.
“Who knows? If he wants to come back, the boxing world will always welcome him. If he wants to retire, let him enjoy his life, ”Zhang said if he thinks Tyson Fury will come out of pension.
Fury’s Fortune
If former WBC champion Fury comes back, it will not be to fight the winner of the Zhang against Kabayel match. The 36-year-old ‘Gypsy King’ Tyson would come back for the dough to add another one $ 200 million to its existing fortune of $ 250 million. It is unreal how rich anger is and how fast he has collected his fortune since 2021.
If Fury works hard and shows some ambition, he can easily hit half billion in net worth, perhaps as high as $ 600 million. He can even become the first billionaire if he lives in the gym. He would not do that of course, but in theory he could if he had the motivation of the Great robber of the past.
