Deontay Wilder vs Zhilei Zhang: UK start time, live stream, TV channel and full card for sensational heavyweight fight
HEAVYWEIGHT boxing literally doesn’t get much bigger as Deontay Wilder makes his return to the ring in June against Zhilei Zhang.
The two titans of the squared circle will face off in what should be one of the most entertaining fights of either man’s career.
Wilder and Zhang are both coming off losses to Joseph Parker, who beat the former back in December, before toppling the latter in March.
