ZHANG ZHILEI: “Fighting Ngannou is a shame for professional boxing”

Chinese boxer Zhang Zhilei, who holds the interim WBO world champion belt in the heavyweight category, criticized WBC champion Tyson Fury for his fight with former UFC champion Francis Ngannou.

“Honestly, I give the victory to Francis Ngannou because of the knockout in the third round. He threw stronger punches and was more aggressive throughout the fight. Fury did not hit too much. For some reason he backed off and controlled the distance with his striking. I think this is a shame for professional boxing .

I believe only Tyson Fury and his team know the reason for his poor performance. Maybe he underestimated his opponent or wasn’t prepared enough. We do not know. Only Tyson knows what happened, but frankly I think it’s bad for boxing,” said Zhang Zhilei.

Let us also remind you that on October 28, in Saudi Arabia, Tyson Fury managed to win against Francis Ngannou with a split decision, despite being eliminated in the 3rd round.

Earlier, Zhang Zhilei said that Tyson Fury should beat Ukrainian Alexander Usik in a head-to-head fight.

“Everything is simple at a basic level.” Usik told how he raised his children

Ukrainian heavyweight Alexander Usik told how he raises children. The athlete and his wife Ekaterina have four children.

“It seems to me that children need to be forced to do some things until the age of 14-15. Because when they say give the child a choice, he will choose not to do anything.”

“With children, everything is simple: I help them. I must raise my children in such a way that when they reach adulthood, they can live without my help. Yes, I can be somewhere and help them. But so that they also have a job of their own.”

“We need to load them up, give them the language, educate them, travel. You definitely need to do that. Someone says: We can’t travel abroad. This is all nonsense. You can’t go abroad, but you can travel around the country because we have so many beautiful places. Just go somewhere where there is a river or something. The kids see that you are interested in something. I go to training with them, I talk, eat, drink, walk or just sit and watch how they communicate with each other, what they do. Tell them what interests them,” he said. Usik.

Cars, factory, paper. Usik explained his career outside of boxing in detail.

Ukrainian boxer Alexander Usik said that he invested the money he earned from sports into business life.

“I have a small business right now. I have a company called Ready2Fight that doesn’t just work with boxing. What do we do? As promoters, we can guide the athlete – legal decisions, managerial decisions. Find trainers, doctors. So create a team. We also do things for sports and equipment.”

“We do some construction. I invest a little in hot construction. There is a glass processing plant. And of course, some valuable papers, special cars. I am a little more interested in the business world than, say, five years ago.”

“Because I understand that I earn money and they also have to work, they just buy themselves some diamonds, gold or something and get high. I’m not that kind of person, I don’t really like to show off,” Usik said.
