Chinese fighter Zhilei Zhang may have his focus on next month's battle with Deontay Wilder, but like the rest of the boxing world, he'll be tuning in to Saturday's huge fight between Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk. 

The two heavyweights meet live on DAZN PPV in Saudi Arabia this weekend, with all four belts up for grabs as they vie to become the division's undisputed champion. 

Talking exclusively to DAZN courtesy of Freebets, Zhang gave his thoughts on the showdown and who he's predicting will come out on top in this historic meeting. 

He said: "Based on what I saw on social media, both of the fighters are coming in great shape.

"My gut feeling is leaning towards Tyson Fury by decision. Size matters in this division. Tyson Fury is taller, has longer reach, is more flexible. 

"Usyk going into the fight as the smaller man has it all to do. It’s not impossible for him, but Fury has natural advantages.

"I don’t think Tyson Fury even trained for Francis Ngannou. Usyk, we saw with Dubois that bodywork can cause issues. Some say it was a low blow, but I’d imagine Tyson will be looking to exploit any perceived weaknesses he can."
