From Zhang Zhilei's self-exposure of the rematch Parker time, look at the situation of the heavyweight future war!
A FEW DAYS AGO, ZHANG ZHILEI WAS INTERVIEWED BY CHINA GTN EURO IN LONDON AND ANNOUNCED THAT HIS REMATCH WITH PARKER COULD BE HELD AT THE END OF THE YEAR, AND THE VENUE WAS TRYING TO WIN A CERTAIN CITY IN CHINA!
This is definitely a big event for the Chinese boxing community and fans! Because once Zhang Zhilei's Parker rematch is finalized in China, it will open a precedent for professional boxing top-level competitions to enter China, and then there will be a steady stream of elite fighters to bring Chinese people wonderful matches that can be watched in person!
However, on the other hand, there are still many uncertainties in the rematch of Lao Zhang Parker. First, there is the question of the utility of the revenge clause. The reason why the revenge clause exists is to protect the interests of the current boxing champions, such as Joshua World War II Ruiz, Wilder World War II Tyson Fury, all of which are on the premise of having the gold belt, proposing that once they lose, they must immediately have a rematch, and require the challenger not to fight other fighters before the rematch, in layman's terms, if my gold belt is taken away by you, you must fight me a second time, and I will take it back! Before I fight you in a rematch, you can't fight with someone else! lest the belt be taken away by a third party!
In this way, Joshua regained three belts in the rematch against Ruiz, but Wilder lost to Fury again, and the WBC gold belt that he had occupied for many years was completely snatched away by Fury and could never come back.
But that's not the case at all with Zhang's rematch against Parker.
Because before they fight the rematch, there must be a third person, or even a fourth person stepping in! Zhang Zhilei is about to face Wilder, and Parker is also dating Dillian White!
If Zhang defeats Wilder and Parker defeats White, their rematch will have a chance to reclaim the WBO interim boxing belt. But if this is not the case, with Lao Zhang's age, this gold belt is likely to say goodbye to Lao Zhang forever!
In addition, according to the time of World War II Parker disclosed by Lao Zhang, the time of this game is likely to coincide with the time of the rematch between Usyk and Fury. Because in May, the heavyweight unification battle between Usyk and Fury ended. The two also have a rematch agreement, and in order to prevent the belt from seeing them again completely, no matter who loses, they will try to make the rematch happen as soon as possible!
Therefore, according to Lao Zhang's plan, for the time being, he should play Wild on June 1 and Parker at the end of the year!
On the other side, on June 1, after Hrgovic and Dubois were finished fighting with Lao Zhang, the winner should face Joshua in September for the gold belt that the IBF forced the winner of Usyk and Fury to concede!
If Zhang keeps his winning streak and wins against Wilder and Parker, then he will have enough status and influence to challenge the real boxing champion!
As a Chinese, I sincerely look forward to Lao Zhang being able to stand on the scene of the real heavyweight world boxing championship challenge!
Come on!!
Chinese power!
