In an electrifying display of power and precision, China's Zhang Zhilei scored the biggest win of his career by knocking out former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder in Riyadh this Saturday. The match, part of the Queensberry vs Matchroom 5v5 event, showcased Zhang's formidable skills and strategic prowess.
The turning point came in Round 5 when Zhang delivered a perfectly timed counter right hook that left Wilder dazed. Seizing the moment, the 41-year-old Chinese boxer unleashed another powerful right hand that sent Wilder crashing to the canvas. Although Wilder managed to rise before the count of 10, his legs were unsteady, prompting the referee to stop the fight at 1:51 of Round 5.
Dubbed the \"Big Bang,\" Zhang's victory not only marks a significant milestone in his journey to becoming a champion but also secures a clean sweep for Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions. Fans and commentators alike are celebrating Zhang's impressive performance, heralding him as a rising star in the global boxing scene.
