Zhang Zhilei is a brother of Chinese boxing heavyweights (over 91 kg), he has an unbeaten record of 24 wins, 23 wins and 1 draw, and is highly expected by many martial arts fans. Last November, Zhang Zhilei launched his latest battle in the United States, and he took only two rounds to take his opponent Craig Lewis TKO. After this war, Zhang Zhilei said that in 2022, promoter Herne will arrange for him to have a big battle, which makes people look forward to it.

Recently, foreign media revealed that Zhang Zhilei's opponent in the next battle is determined to be the undefeated fierce general Philip Hogovic from Croatia. Moreover, the two will compete for the IBF heavyweight world championship mandatory challenge, which means that the world boxer must accept the challenge of the winner of this game.
Philip Khgović
Hegovich is 29 years old and has a big advantage in age compared to Zhang Zhilei, 38. Hegovic currently has a record of 14 wins in 12 KO, and the momentum is fierce. His most recent match was last December, in the third leg TKO against the opponent. Hegovich has won the title of international champion of the WBC and IBF organizations, and has defended the title many times, and the strength is needless to say.
Facing such a strong opponent this time is an opportunity and a test for Zhang Zhilei. It is reported that Zhang Zhilei has agreed to the game, and the specific time has not yet been determined. If Zhang Zhilei succeeds in winning, he will face the ultimate target of the WBA, IBF, WBO heavyweight world champion Usik!
Last September, Usik defeated Joshua and successfully won the latter's golden belt, becoming the new king of today's heavyweight boxing world. I hope that Zhang Zhilei's match with Hegovic can go smoothly, and I also look forward to his early impact on the world boxing champion's golden belt!
