Holder of the WBO interim heavyweight belt Zhang Zhilei challenged former unified division champion Anthony Joshua.

“11 years ago at the Olympics I lost to the best fighter. I'm glad we've both come a long way, with ups and downs in our lives. Now it's time to make our fight for boxing and fans around the world. Let’s get down to business!” the Chinese wrote on Instagram.

Let us remind you that on Saturday, in the main event of a grand boxing evening in Riyadh, Joshua won an early victory over Otto Wallin.
