Zhang Hands Wilder Another Loss
Wilder Suffers Fifth-Round TKO in Saudi Arabia
Zhang Dominant in Queensberry vs. Matchroom 5v5 Fight
In a highly anticipated heavyweight bout, Zhilei Zhang handed Deontay Wilder another loss on Saturday in Saudi Arabia. The 41-year-old Wilder, known as "The Bronze Bomber," suffered a fifth-round TKO against the 39-year-old Zhang. The fight took place at the Freedom Arena in Riyadh as part of the Queensberry vs. Matchroom 5v5 event.
Zhang, who entered the ring with a record of 27-2-1, put on a dominant performance. He landed a good right hand early in the fight, which seemed to energize him and set the tone for the rest of the bout. Wilder, now 43-4-1, struggled to keep up with Zhang's power and speed. In the fifth round, Zhang landed a series of heavy blows that sent Wilder to the canvas. The referee stopped the fight, handing Zhang the victory.
This is a significant setback for Wilder, who was hoping to bounce back from his previous loss to Tyson Fury. Zhang, on the other hand, has now won three straight fights and is positioning himself as a potential contender for the heavyweight title.
