Zhilei Zhang barely had time to celebrate his second stoppage win over Joe Joyce before his name was linked to numerous heavyweight contenders.
Zhang produced one of the performances of 2023 as he easily moved past Joyce and put himself into contention for a world title shot as the holder of the WBO interim title.
Now one of the leading names in the division, Zhang should have plenty of lucrative opportunities moving forward.
One name eager to test himself against the Chinese star is Derek Chisora. The former world title challenger is showing no signs of slowing down and he’s made it clear he wants Zhang next.
“It’ll be a long night, but I’ll beat Zhang. I like southpaws,” said Joyce when speaking to IFLTV.
