Zhilei Zhang was set for the biggest test of his career on Saturday night when he was due to face Filip Hrgovic in an eliminator for Oleksandr Usyk's IBF title. The contest would've told us plenty about the future prospects of both men, but Hrgovic pulled out of the bout as he grieves the loss of his father.
Stepping in is Scott Alexander. The Californian heavyweight usually loses when he steps up, but he holds a reputation for being a stern operator and he'll relish the chance to make a big impression on a huge show.
Can the American cause a significant upset or will Zhang maintain his momentum?
