After losing by knockout for the first time, Zhilei Zhang is about to make his return to action. Today, the Chinese southpaw revealed a list of four men to target for a potential return in April.
In 2023, “Big Bang” Zhang lost his WBO interim title to Joseph Parker but bounced back in style with a Declaration Stoppage Triumph Against Deontay Wilder to get back into the race for the world title.
Although last February, in his only appearance in 2025, Zhang fell short when tasked with Agit Kabayel in a clash for the WBC interim crown, suffering a maiden defeat inside the distance as he lost by body shot KO in the sixth round.
Since then, Zhang has been linked to a number of proposals, but the 42-year-old is yet to return. Talk to ATW fightsZhang’s manager Terry Lane revealed his fighter was hoping to end his inactivity in April, against one of Britain’s big four rivals atop a London-based bill.
“We are now targeting early April in London for a fight that I think the fans will love.
“I spoke with Zhilei today, and his wish list/hit list for 2026 is: Daniel Dubois, Tyson Fury, Fabio Wardley and Derek Chisora.”
Boxing News It appears that Zhilei Zhang agreed to face Chisora in late 2025 a few months ago, for what would be the latter’s 50th professional fight.
However, “Del Boy” then opted to face Dillian Whyte instead, only for that clash to collapse at the final hurdle and cause Chisora’s proposed fight date in Manchester to be cancelled.
