Zhilei is ready to fight Ngannou, but on one condition

Dmitriy Kel Nov. 5, 2023, 2:31 p.m.

Interim WBO World Heavyweight Champion Zhang Zhilei (25-1-1, 21 KOs) said he was ready to fight the mixed martial arts star Francis Ngannou (0-1), if he proves his worth in the ring.

At the same time, Zhang believes that the Cameroonian’s fight with Tyson Fury cannot be taken into account, since the Briton was not ready.

“I think Ngannou fought the worst version of Tyson Fury and looked good because of it. But is he really that good considering Francis has fought a worse version of Fury? I do not think so.

Everyone is making hype for Ngannou, but I think he needs a test or two to prove where he belongs in the heavyweight division. If he wants to meet me, then I don't care. But does he really want this?” Zhilei said in an interview with the YouTube channel Boxing World Weekly
