Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang will headline Saturday’s Queensberry vs. Matchroom 5v5 card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The 41-year-old Zhang probably lost his last chance at a world title when he lost to Joseph Parker in March. Parker also took care of business against Wilder in December with a unanimous decision win over the former champion.
Wilder lost the WBC heavyweight title, which he held for more than five years, to Tyson Fury in February 2020. Wilder failed to regain the title in the trilogy fight with Fury in October 2021. He did bounce back with a huge knockout win over Robert Helenius in October 2022, but then returned to his losing ways against Parker.
At BetMGM, “Big Bang” Zhang is a -150 favorite to beat “The Bronze Bomber.” Wilder is at +125. Zhang is +100 to win by KO/TKO/DQ and is +600 to win by pointa. Wilder is +150 to win by KO/TKO/DQ. He is +1200 to win on points.
