ANTHONY JOSHUA would like to fight Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, but there could be another heavyweight opponent to worry about.
The Brit is determined that he will win his belts from Ukrainian Usyk, before a massive battle of Britain with Gypsy King. However, AJ is also in his sights.
Anthony Joshua would like to fight Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk, but there may be another heavyweight giant
to worry about.
Zhang Zhilei, a 23-0 unbeaten heavyweight mountain man-mountain, wants to hold an AJ brawl at Beijing.
This Chinese star is a knockout, with 18 of his 23 wins being via KO.
He stands at 6ft 6in and is taller than AJ - whom he lost on points in London 2012 Olympic quarter-final.
The 38-year old also weighed 19st 8lbs.
Zhang won the super-heavyweight Olympic Gold medal at Beijing 2008. David Price of Britain won bronze.
He also wants a return at the Bird's Nest Olympic Stadium to host a massive AJ bout.
FightMag reported Zhang saying: "I would love fight AJ in China due to our amateur backgrounds.
"The venue is there, and the Bird's Nest holds 10,000, so it's all ours.
"Beijing, Shanghai and Beijing are the largest cities in China. They are very economically developed and boxing is increasing in China.
"The boxing fans in Japan like AJ and boxing so if it can be made happen, it would be huge for boxing."
Zhang won his most recent victory on the undercard to George Kambosos shock win over Teofimo Loz.
American Craig Lewis was beaten by the huge southpaw in six minutes. The ref quickly waved it off after Lewis was knocked down twice.
The IBF ranks 'Big Bang Zhang' Zhang 13th and the WBO 8th.
He has also been signed to Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing, the same promoter Joshua- giving the fight a greater chance of occurring.
After losing at Tottenham's stadium in September, AJ will be rematching with Usyk next January.
