Zhilei approached Wilder about the fight: "Let's do it"

Zhang Zhilei, the interim WBO world heavyweight champion, commented on the rumor that he might fight with Deontay Wilder March 9 in Saudi Arabia.

“Wilder is a great fighter. I'll happily take this fight, it's a great sign for boxing. Don’t get carried away, let’s do it,” said the Chinese boxer.

Let us remind you that earlier there was news that Wilder and Zhilei would fight on the undercard of Joshua’s fight with Ngannou.
