Zhilei Zhang believes that Tyson Fury would not be able to cope with his power.
Throughout his career, Fury has found himself down on the canvas, but has always managed to get up.

Zhang has taken confidence for a potential future fight with Fury after watching him get knocked down by Francis Ngannou
First against Neven Pajkic, then against Steve Cunningham, he was dropped four times across three fights by Deontay Wilder and most recently ‘The Gypsy King’ was floored by former UFC heavyweight champion and boxing debutante Francis Ngannou.
With that being said, Fury is still undefeated, but Zhang is confident that against him, the Brit would not hear the final bell.
After watching Fury’s fight against Ngannou, Zhang told the Town Bizznizz sports and ent YouTube channel: “I think Tyson Fury probably never trained for the Ngannou fight. It was not the Fury we know, it was a totally different person.
“If you look at his career, he’s got hit, he’s got dropped, and my punches are not a joke.
“When my punches land, it’s going to be a disaster for him.”
This comes as following his duo of knockout victories over Joe Joyce earlier this year, Zhang now wants to take on the big names in the heavyweight division, including Fury.
“I always wanted to get the big four names,” Zhang continued. “Fury, Oleksandr Usyk, Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder but they don’t want to fight me. They are running away from me.”
Unfortunately for Zhang, it may not be a case of the other heavyweights running from him, rather there is just a long list of potential opponents and they are all otherwise occupied.
The boxing schedule in the heavyweight division is busy over the next few months
Joshua’s next fight will come against Otto Wallin, while Wilder will take on Joseph Parker on the same card on December 23 in Saudi Arabia, with a view that should they emerge victorious, both AJ and ‘The Bronze Bomber’ will clash next year.
Meanwhile, Fury and Usyk are due to battle it out for the undisputed heavyweight world titles on February 17.
And then the obvious next step would be for the winner of that fight to go head-to-head with the winner of a potential Joshua vs Wilder clash.
Although, boxing is notoriously unpredictable, so Zhang will be hoping that somewhere along the line one of these bouts doesn’t go to plan and he can secure a dream fight.
