WBO world heavyweight champion Zhang Zhilei stated that the former holder of three titles in the division Anthony Joshua didn’t want to box with him after being defeated for the second time in a row by Alexandra Usika.

“It was after his fight with Usyk, where I fought Hrgovic in the second most important event. My representatives spoke with Joshua's team. They even flew to London to meet with Anthony's side.

From what I've heard, I believe Eddie Hearn liked the idea, but when it came to Joshua and his management, I'm not so sure. I really wanted to fight him. I can tell you this for sure,” the Daily Mail quotes the Chinese as saying.
