When is Wilder - Zhang? How to watch on TV, stream online | Boxing
‘The Bronze Bomber’ will return to the ring after his unexpected loss to Joseph Parker to take on the hard-hitting Zhang.
Victory or possible retirement. Deontay Wilder finds himself at a crossroads with minimal error margin. After unexpectedly losing to Joseph Parker last December, The Bronze Bomber is obliged to win his next fight against the dangerous power puncher Zhilei Zhang if he still wants to compete at the top level.
A loss for the former heavyweight champion could easily translate into retirement, as the Alabama native, at 38, is past his prime and would probably lose his star status, which has taken him to big PPV events over the last years.
Meanwhile, Zhang also lost his last clash, against the same opponent, Parker, in an exciting contest where the New Zealander went to the canvas but recovered to beat the 2008 Olympic silver medalist via majority decision.
Their heavyweight battle will be the main event for the Queensberry vs. Matchroom 5v5 card.
