It seems likely that this fight will end with somebody on the floor unable to rise and continue. Wilder is sure that he will be the one standing over Zhang, similar to how Muhammad Ali once stood over the fallen Sonny Liston six decades ago.
In an interview with BuzzFeed News, Rhodes and Russell Hornsby, who plays boxing manager Don King, said that they hoped the show would capture the scope of Tyson’s humanity. “America thought about him as this Black buck, this brute,” Hornsby said. “Now as artists, we’re coming to it with a different lens, a lot more sensitive to … what America was doing to him.” Rhodes said he saw the Tyson role “as a catalyst to better understand the Black male.”
One day I went into this neighborhood in Crown Heights and I robbed a house with this older guy. We found $2,200 in cash, and he cut me in for $600. So I went to a pet store and bought a hundred bucks’ worth of birds. They put them in a crate for me, and the owner helped me get them on the subway. When I got off, I had somebody from my neighborhood help me drag the crate to the condemned building where I was hiding my pigeons. But this guy went and told some kids that I had all these birds. So a guy named Gary Flowers and some friends of his came and started to rob me. My mother saw them messing with the birds and told me, and I ran out into the street and confronted them. They saw me coming and stopped grabbing the birds, but this guy Gary still had one of them under his coat.
Zhang was born on May 2, 1983, in Qianzhangying village, Shicaoji Township, Shenqiu County, Zhoukou, Henan Province, China. Zhang is the tallest member of his family. By 15 years of age, he was 1.95 meters tall and weighed 120 kg. His father, Zhang Tan (1948–2020 ), was 1.76 meters tall while his mother, Deng Yuying stood just a shade over 1.6 meters tall. His elder brother and elder sister are of a more normal height.
Parker lost his next fight, too, a decision setback to Dillian Whyte that seemed to end any hope of a future title shot. But now, Parker is well-positioned while the trio of top heavyweights settle bragging rights as he looks toward another bout with Zhang.
Wilder fires back and Zhang staying in the pocket. Rough-housing inside and Wilder is playing a dangerous game. He finally pivots out. But Zhang puts him into the corner again and rips to the body. Wilder cannot get backed up like this. Zhang’s size is too big a weapon in there.
Zhang, a southpaw like Usyk, started better and capitalized on Joyce’s static head movement by landing a right hook in the first round. In the second round Joyce was left staggering from a left hand from Zhang and then again later in the round from another left hand and right hook.
Despite his remarkable success, Mike Tyson’s life was not without its share of setbacks and controversies. In 1990, Tyson suffered a shocking defeat at the hands of Buster Douglas, in what is considered one of boxing’s biggest upsets. This loss, coupled with personal turmoil and legal issues, marked a turning point in Tyson’s life and career.
Zinad’s corner is now screaming. Audibly screaming. Not words. Just guttural screams. All while Bivol marches their fighter around hits him. Zinad’s nose is now bloodied. Zinad’s jab is slowing Bivol down. It’s not landing, but he’s firing it into Bivol’s gloves and that’s simply stemming his forward momentum. This could become a slog.
Zhang, 40, dominated Joyce in April, damaging the 38-year-old’s eye to the point of closure and sealing a sixth-round stoppage. And when the pair returned to London on Saturday, it took Zhang just three rounds to repeat the trick at Wembley Arena.
So much pawing from both men. Zhang swings a left up top but Wilder ducks under and clinches. Fast right hand from Wilder just misses. Another miss from Zhang and Wilder grabs. Statistically these men are No. 1 and No. 3 for least punches thrown in boxing 140 pound division rankings and it’s showing early.
Zhang was housemates with middleweight Meng Fanlong and lightweight Wang Zhimin in New Jersey when he first came to the US. Along with Zou Shiming, these four were the first wave of boxers ever released by the Chinese authorities to turn professional.
Nicknamed “Big Bang,” Zhang (26-1-1, 21 KO) secured the interim WBO title in the previous year, showcasing his prowess with consecutive knockouts against Joe Joyce. The first victory featured a grotesque swelling, while the second was a one-hitter quitter five months later. These wins have positioned Zhang for a shot at the full title currently held by Oleksandr Usyk. However, with the unified champion expected to be occupied throughout 2024 with Tyson Fury, Zhang will instead take on the former WBO titleholder, Joseph Parker (34-3, 23 KO).
