Zhilei: "Pereira is a good boxer with a strong punch"

Former WBO interim heavyweight champion Zhang Zhilei praised the boxing skills of UFC light heavyweight titleholder Alex Pereira, with whom he once trained together.

"He's a good boxer with a strong punch. I can tell he has good reflexes and good speed. I've watched a lot of his fights in the UFC. It's like he dominates everyone across from him. I think he could very well move up to heavyweight," - quotes Zhilei MMA Fighting.

Recall, earlier Pereira admitted that in the future may try his hand at boxing.
