Despite the shocking loss, Tyson has said that losing to Douglas was the greatest moment of his career: "I needed that fight to make me a better person and fighter. I have a broader perspective of myself and boxing."
Now we have a ten round light-heavyweight contest between England's Anthony Yarde and Portugal's Jorge Silva. This was a late replacement for Yarde, who was scheduled to fight Ricky Summers but Summers had to pull out. Yarde asked his team to find someone because he prefers to stay active.
I can’t wait to see the compubox numbers. Wilder might have thrown 20 all night long. He is getting dominated in activity by freaking Zhang. He’s going through the motions in what seems very likely to be the final fight of his career.
They appeared to be in different weight classes Saturday, too, as Zhang outweighed Wilder by 68.2 pounds -- at 282.8 compared with Wilder's 214.6. There is no weight limit in boxing's heavyweight division.
Tyson regained one belt by easily winning the WBC title against Frank Bruno in March 1996. It was the second fight between the two, and Tyson knocked out Bruno in the third round. In 1996, Lennox Lewis turned down a $13.5 million guarantee to fight Tyson. This would've been Lewis's highest fight purse to date. Lewis then accepted $4 million from Don King to step aside and allow Tyson to fight Bruce Seldon for an expected $30 million instead with the intention that if Tyson defeated Seldon, he would fight Lewis next. Tyson added the WBA belt by defeating champion Seldon in the first round in September that year. Seldon was severely criticized and mocked in the popular press for seemingly collapsing to innocuous punches from Tyson.
Round 8: Perhaps for her own entertainment and maybe to force the stoppage, Mayer returns to some phonebox stuff. As the session unfolds, it's easy to conclude she feels Wildheart doesn't have much left. Apart from a headbutt, that draws a warning from the referee.
The victory made it a clean sweep for Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions, which was squaring off with rival U.K. promoter Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing in a unique 5 vs. 5 team concept created by Turki Alalshikh, the chairman of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority.
"I would like to make this fight happen. Anthony Joshua is a superstar, he’s a bigger name and he holds belts. In the heavyweight division, you never know. It takes only one punch," said Zhang, punching his right palm with his left fist.
Realising that his left hand was all that was required, Zhang could afford to be patient as he knew that Joyce’s exposed target would present itself throughout the fight as he fought to keep up with Zhang.
Participó en dos Juegos Olímpicos de Verano, obteniendo una medalla de plata en Pekín 2008, en el peso superpesado, y el quinto lugar en Atenas 2004, en el mismo peso. Ganó dos medallas de bronce en el Campeonato Mundial de Boxeo Aficionado, en los años 2007 y 2009.
In the quarterfinals of the 2012 London Olympics, Zhang lost to Anthony Joshua. A year later, after winning a championship at the National Games of China, zhilei zhang stats retired from the national team at age 30, laying his jersey in the center of the ring after his final fight. Then it was off to New Jersey, but not before he decided to leave his wife and son in China.
W 2003 na mistrzostwach świata w boksie amatorskim w Bangkoku przegrał już w pierwszej walce z Polakiem Grzegorzem Kiełsą w stosunku 22–8. Dwa lata później na mistrzostwach świata w chińskim Mianyang wygrał pierwszą walkę z Vüqarem Alakbarovem, jednak w następnym pojedynku uległ późniejszemu złotemu medaliście, Kubańczykowi Odlanierowi Solísowi .
Hrgović does enough to shade another very active round. He’s proven to be the better boxer but Dubois looks fresher and arguably stronger. Also, Hrgović appears to be cut over his left eye. Hrgović’s conditioning has given the Briton a massive opportunity despite (almostly certainly) being down on the cards entering the back half of the schedled 12 rounds.
Tanto Wilder como Zhang vienen de perder ante Joseph Parker. El británico cayó ante el neozelandés en diciembre del 2023 y dejó una muy mala imagen. En tanto que el chino perdió en marzo de este año, pero exhibió un buen rendimiento. De hecho, volteó dos veces a su oponente y cayó por decisión mayoritaria.
Perhaps even in the family. At the table, Zhang flashes a picture of his son, who still lives in China and sees his dad a few times a year. His name is Jingze—Mandarin for "respect the rules"—but he is known to Zhang’s U.S. contingent as Zach. Now 14 years old, he’s 6’ 2" and weighs 200 pounds. There’s no doubt where Zach’s size comes from. But asked whether Zach boxes, Zhang shakes his head. Likes school, Zhang says. Studies English. But hates sports. Oof. That’s one no. But there are still more than a billion to go.
That right hook didn't come out of nowhere, however. It was set up from the opening bell. Joe Joyce claimed that he had worked on errors in this training camp, but when it came down to it, all of his changes seemed to boil down to "move the other way." And that is just not enough.
