Beijing time February 1, 2022, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, Fight Vision is here to wish everyone good health in the new year! Work well! Life is full!
Generally speaking, the people of China today will pay homage to each other and send New Year wishes. But for philip hogović, a former Rio Olympic boxing super heavyweight bronze medalist and a famous Croatian heavyweight boxer, the most needed blessing is to wish him to find an opponent who is willing to play with him in the IBF heavyweight world champion challenger battle, because philip Hegović really needs such a blessing now.
According to the latest reports in the US media, IBF officials personally contacted the challengers of Philip Hgović , former heavyweight World Champion Murat Garsiyev and former Heavyweight World Boxing Champion Andy Ruiz Jr. have explicitly declined the invitation to play with Philippe Hegovich. The reason given by both men was that they had not recovered from their serious injuries and could not bear such an important game physically.
At present, the IBF has not made an updated response to this. If the IBF officially removes Murat Gassiyev and Andy Ruiz Jr. from the list of candidates, the two candidates to be contacted later will be Demsi McCann from Australia and Zhang Zhilei from China.
Currently behind Murat Garsiev and Andy Ruiz Jr. in the IBF world rankings, the tenth is former IBF heavyweight world boxing champion Charles Martin, but in the opening battle of january 1, 2022, Charles Martin was ko-beaten by Cuban King Kong Luis Otiz, who theoretically needed to undergo a six-month forced medical ban. Behind Charles Martin are Demsi McCann in eleventh place and Zhang Zhilei in twelfth place.
In a sense, Demsi McCann and Zhang Zhilei are the same door of the same company.
Demsi McCann signed with Eddie Hearn's Athletic Room Boxing Promotion Company last year and is currently preparing for a match against Argentina's Ariel Esteban Bracamont. The match will be held at London's O2 Stadium on 27 February and will be broadcast live via DAZN.
It was also Demsi McCann's second match after signing with Arena Boxing Promotion, but the choice Demsi McCann was whether to continue playing against Ariel Esteban Bracamont as originally planned, or to abandon the game to start negotiations with Philip Hogovich and start a new preparation. Although this match does not involve any World Champion titles, the good villains can also get the IBF's mandatory challenge rights, and considering the IBF's consistent tough policy, the chances of this mandatory challenge holder eventually challenging the World Boxing Champion are still very good.
For Zhang Zhilei, who ranked further, this opportunity is what he has been waiting for for a long time. It can be said that Zhang Zhilei signed a contract with Eddie Hearn's Athletic Room Boxing Promotion Company in 2016 in order to be able to win such an opportunity as it has now. And in previous interviews, Zhang Zhilei has repeatedly said that he is interested in playing with Philip Hogović. So as far as the current situation is concerned, letting Zhang Zhilei and Philippe Hegovich play is likely to be the most realistic choice for the IBF official.
Therefore, here, Fighting Vision also wishes Zhang Zhilei that in the Year of the Tiger, he can win the compulsory challenge right of the IBF heavyweight world boxing king and realize the long-cherished wish of challenging the title of world boxing king as soon as possible.
