Today is April 30, 2024, and today I think about a question, that is, Zhang Zhilei lost to Parker, although he lost to Parker and lost the WBO heavyweight interim championship belt, but I think Zhang Zhilei may have won. Zhang Zhilei has now finalized his match against Wilder, and if he wins this match, he could also win a chance against Joshua, which is a promise given to Joshua by Saudi Entertainment chairman Alalsik. He said that in the match on June 1, whether it is Zhang Zhileiweild, Dubois and Khhrgovic, whoever performs the best of the four will win the opportunity to challenge Joshua.
So if Zhang Zhilei knocks out Wild and becomes the best of the four, then he could challenge Joshua and realize Zhang Zhilei's biggest career dream. Because Zhang Zhilei lost to Joshua in the Olympics before, he has always wanted to play against Joshua, which is his current state. Assuming we go back to before March 9, if Zhang Zhilei knocks out Parker in the match on March 9, then Zhang Zhilei's next opponents are very limited. It's either Joshua, or Helgovic, or Dubois, and if Zhang knocks out Parker, will Joshua still fight?
Personally, no, Joshua shouldn't fight, Hrgovic shouldn't fight, so who's going to fight? If you look at Parker's current form, he wanted to challenge Dilian White, and then he said he wanted to challenge Joshua, but no one made it happen. So Parker just has to wait, what are you waiting for? Waiting for his rematch with Zhang Zhilei, or some other match. Considering the current state of the two people, we seem to be able to draw such a conclusion, that is, although Zhang Zhilei lost, he won.
