Zhang considered turning professional at 25 years of age after the 2008 Olympics, but could not until 2014. Dino Duva and Don King were the first promoters to approach Zhang. In August 2009, Duva and King arranged for Zhang to train at the Poconos. In September 2010, Duva arranged for Zhang to train in the Poconos to prepare him for the 2010 Asian Games. The highlight of that training were 11 bouts between the Chinese and American national boxing teams in Manhattan promoted as “Empires Collide”, which Zhang defeated Danny Kelly Jr 16:8 in the main fight. Zhang dominated in all domestic amateur heavyweight competitions from 2005 until 2013. He was finally released by the Henan Provincial Combat and Weightlifting Center after he competed in the 2012 Olympics and won the gold medal for 2013 National Games of China.

Skills and experience will teach you over time.

Legendary fighter Frank Bruno is set to feature in the upcoming boxing title and will no doubt be one of the heaviest punchers in the game. Bruno’s brawler style resulted in 38 knockouts from 40 overall wins — but could also have cost two defeats in matches against Mike Tyson who was rumored to be bringing out his own boxing game in 2020.
The pair have sparred countless rounds over the years and Joshua has previously said he would welcome the match-up, but Joyce “wasn’t impressed” with his compatriot’s points win over Jermaine Franklin earlier this month.
Larry Holmes, born in 1949 and famously known as the “Easton Assassin,” stands as a legendary figure in the storied world of heavyweight boxing. Holmes achieved a remarkable and unparalleled feat by successfully defending his heavyweight title a staggering 20 times, a record surpassed only by the iconic Joe Louis. Holmes’ reign as champion was marked by a unique blend of attributes that rendered him a dominant force in the heavyweight division. His powerful jab, often regarded as one of the best in the annals of the sport, enabled him to masterfully control the distance and dictate the tempo of his fights. His exceptional footwork further augmented his defensive prowess, rendering him an elusive target for his opponents.

In the ninth round, Tyson came out aggressively to try to end the fight and save his title, hoping that Douglas was still hurt from the knockdown. Douglas was able to fight off Tyson’s attack and was able to close Tyson’s eye completely. Both men traded punches before Douglas connected on a four-punch combination that staggered Tyson back to the ropes. With Tyson hurt along the ropes, Douglas closed in and unleashed a four-punch attack to try to knock Tyson out. Tyson withstood the punishment and barely survived the round.
A surprisingly mobile southpaw at 6-foot-6, 280-plus pounds, Zhang is on the cusp of a title shot after back-to-back stoppage wins over Joe Joyce. It took until age 40, but China’s Zhang looks like a dangerous opponent for anyone at heavyweight with his crisp jab and ability to box off the back foot.
