Tony Bellew believes it would be ‘brilliant’ to see Anthony Joshua take on Zhilei Zhang in the ring. However, the former world champion does not believe that the latter is an attractive…
Credit: Mark Robinson/Matchroom"I think Tyson Fury would beat him hands down, I think Fury beats almost everyone in the world barring Usyk. I just think Fury is so good but at the same time, there's nothing to win by facing Zhang. He's not a world champion, he's not undefeated and he's super dangerous.
"He can wallop with either hand. It's just not someone you take on, I'm talking from a boxing business perspective, I'm not talking as a boxing fan. As a boxing fan, a great fight would be Zhang againstWhen asked who would win, Bellew added: "I haven't seen Zhang take one back off the likes of Joshua. You've got to look at the heavyweight division, the biggest puncher in the heavyweight division is Deontay Wilder.
"I've got no problem in saying that, he's the biggest puncher of his era. But Joshua is right on his coattails, right behind him as the second biggest puncher in the heavyweight division. I just think Joshua wallops Zhang, I mean it's a shootout once again."I'm not sure Zhang is as athletic and as mobile as Joshua. Joshua is still evolving, he's becoming a better fighter each and every time. People are going, 'This style of Joshua...
"But at the same time, make no mistake, he's still got the old Joshua, it's just that no one has put it on him yet and made him have a fight. Zhang would, Wilder is going to do it and that's when I think you'll see and everyone will see Joshua at his best. "When someone goes, 'Right, I'm going to stick it on you now and give it to you', that's when I think you'll see him bite down on his gumshield and fire back and if he did, I would tip him, I would tip Joshua to knock Zhang out."
