Zhilei Zhang has admitted he shared "tough" rounds with UFC champion Alex Pereira ahead of his rematch with Israel Adesanya.
UFC middleweight champion Alex Pereira is in training camp preparing for his rematch with bitter rival Adesanya set for Miami at UFC 286 on April 9. The Brazilian picked up the title with a final-round KO last year of the Nigerian, and will now face an immediate challenge from the ex-champion, who is looking to halt his sharp rise to the ascendency.
Equally boxing star Zhang is back in training himself as he prepares to touch gloves with British star Joe Joyce at the Copper Box on April 22. Last week, Pereira posted a series of images of the pair, with the Brazilian having travelled to the Chinese contender's camp to share some rounds in the squared circle.
