Few towards the top end of the heavyweight division have had a more productive year so far than Zhilei Zhang.
Granted, that is not a particularly competitive field. The sport’s biggest men have produced little to get excited about over the past seven months - the two fighters holding world titles have not thrown a punch in anger in 2023. One fight, one win and a WBO interim belt is enough for Zhang to have bettered the efforts of many of his peers.
