„If the Chinese government’s past record is of any indication, she will face continued harassment and surveillance by authorities. But if Zhang Zhan’s past actions are any indication, she will keep fighting against efforts to silence her.”
Zhang moves him to another corner. Wilder is gunshy. He’s not throwing. Now he sends one and it makes Zhang cover up. But too few. Great lead right hook from Zhang as Wilder stepped out. He keeps getting moved to the corner though and he’s not throwing enough. When Zhang is out-working you, that’s a problem.
In addition to his career as an actor, Zhang Zhehan is a successful singer-songwriter. He has sung on the original soundtracks for several of the dramas in which he appeared. He had also released two mini albums: „Light” and „Another Me,” for which he wrote several of the songs. His last released independent single, ‘Surround’ (环绕), spent a number of weeks atop the Neatease Music Popularity chart and was their fourth most popular song during the first half of 2021. He also sang
The 27-year-old Paul, meanwhile, has transitioned from YouTube to professional boxing and has won nine of his 10 fights. His only defeat came against Tommy Fury, the younger half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, in February 2023.
Zhang Zhilei, the Chinese heavyweight boxer, has firmly positioned himself among the top fighters in his division after spending over 7 years in the professional boxing ring. Born on March 3, 1983, he made his debut in August 2014 and has since contended in 26 fights, winning 24 of them, while losing one and drawing the other.
In 1995, Zhang was called up to the Shenqiu County canoe sprinting team by coach Li Guofeng. When Zhang injured his leg during a tryout for the provincial canoe sprinting team, he was referred to the provincial boxing coach Gu Ganqing. In 1998, Gu signed him to the Combat and Weightlifting Center in the Henan Provincial Department of Sports, headed by center chief Li Yan in Shangjie. From 1998 until he was released from his sporting obligations, he was coached by Gu. This was the first time Zhang had lived away from his family.
„Zhang Zhan should never have been jailed in the first place; now, having served her time, our hopes are with her and her family for a safe reunion and road back to health and, if she chooses, her important human rights work,” she said.
2009 gewann er mit einem Finalsieg gegen Sardor Abdullajew die Asienmeisterschaft in Zhuhai und erkämpfte bei der Weltmeisterschaft in Mailand gegen Sardor Abdullajew, Erik Pfeifer und Primislav Dimovski, sowie einer Halbfinalniederlage gegen Roman Kapitonenko, erneut eine WM-Bronzemedaille. 2010 gewann er mit einem Finalsieg gegen Mihai Nistor die World Combat Games in Peking und mit einem Finalsieg gegen Iwan Dytschko auch die Asienspiele in Guangzhou.
„In the amateurs you’re still green and I was better than him at that time. Once he turned pro, he stayed at it, improved on the things he needed to improve on and became the better fighter. He was on top form. I think that night he would have beat Holyfield, knocked out Lewis, he would have beat anybody that night. I think he’d have been a handful for anybody in history on that night. He would swing those hooks and you wouldn’t see them coming. He was very quick. Tyson was in a different mindset in the 80s.”
The battle of two heavyweights with a proven track record to take on all comers was spent largely at close quarters. Parker, No. 4 at HVY, was subtle in his movement but not nearly as successful early as he was throughout his December 23 points win over former WBC heavyweight titlist Deontay Wilder in this very venue. China’s Zhang, No. 3 at HVY, kept the former WBO heavyweight titleholder in his desired punching range and landed the more telling blows.
Zhilei Zhang (Chinese: 张志磊; pinyin: Zhāng Zhìlěi; born May 2, 1983) is a Chinese professional boxer. He held the World Boxing Organization (WBO) interim heavyweight title between 2023 and March 2024. As of June 2024, Zhang is ranked as the world’s fifth-best active heavyweight by The Ring magazine.
Wilder fires back and Zhang staying in the pocket. Rough-housing inside and Wilder is playing a dangerous game. He finally pivots out. But Zhang puts him into the corner again and rips to the body. Wilder cannot get backed up like this. Zhang’s size is too big a weapon in there.
Before 2014, Zhang was a typical product of the Chinese state-centric sports development policy known as juguo tizhi (举国体制), with all his training schedule, coaching, insurance, housing, and meals arranged and paid for by the Henan Provincial Combat and box Weightlifting Center. Hence, few Chinese boxers turn pro. The Henan Provincial Department of Sports secured public institution positions for athletes like Zhang should they retire in China.
