Zhilei Zhang has expressed a desire for fresh challenges, and fans might find this one particularly exciting. The Chinese heavyweight star, now 42, is contemplating a future bout with Jake Paul. With a resume boasting names like Deontay Wilder, Joe Joyce, and Filip Hrgovic, Zhang presents a formidable challenge for Paul.
Jake Paul, known for his slimmer build compared to Zhang, may need to rely on his cardio and agility to outmaneuver the heavyweight. Despite the size difference, Zhang is serious about the potential fight, seeing it as an opportunity to create a memorable event and make a significant impact on the boxing world.
“I would try it (fighting Jake Paul) why not? If the opportunity presents itself then I will,” Zhang recently told reporters. He respects Paul’s transition from influencer to dedicated boxer, acknowledging his commitment and hard work in the sport.
Promoters and fans alike are intrigued by the possibility of this match-up. Only time will tell if this fight materializes, but the anticipation is already building.
