Zhilei spoke about the possibility of a fight with Parker

Dmitriy Kel | Published Jan. 4, 2024, 3:51 p.m.

Zhang Zhilei, holder of the interim WBO heavyweight title, said he would not mind sharing the ring with the former division champion Joseph Parker.

On December 23 in Riyadh, the New Zealander won one of the most high-profile victories in his career, defeating Deontay Wilder by unanimous decision.

“Parker could be a great option. Now he is on fire. Everyone sees him as an amazing fighter. If I can’t get any of the other opponents, then Joseph Parker will be a good option,” Boxing Scene quotes Zhilei as saying.
