What happened to that massive Chinese heavyweight taishon dong? I remember he had a bit of hype because he was huge. Then nothing

Would the Chinese turn out though? I remember Vijender Singh was supposedly being watched by hundreds of millions in India according to allegedly but he could barely sell a ticket when he fought there.

What happened to him? I know he was being trained by Poxon and Frank seemed high on him. I heard they were going to get him a commonwealth title shot. I saw him fight some russian guy showing up in shit state then got stopped. Was his heart not in it?

Ashamed to admit it, but I’ve only just realised now they are two different men.

dong was awful, guessing someone cut him off after lacklustre performances

I watched back some of his fights. Ok right hand on account of him being basically a 7ft jacked bloke. Not very skilled

They’ll turn out for any kind of national hero. Which I suppose he is in a way. I just can’t see that stadium not being filled. I really don’t wanna mention the politics but they just will

This is why I disapprove of bridgerweight/super-heavyweight. Have the good lads and a separate mutant weight limit where none of them can fight

Mutant weight lol

Who the heck wants to put Whyte in with Zhang?

Put a guy who's punch resistance is on par with a toddler in the ring with the hardest puncher in the division?
People were concerned about Parker fighting Whyte

Does Ray Austin still box?

Ajagba would be a good fight, or Ljunguist

ya i had an eye on big kem too for this type of fight, if they want more of a knockover. superficially nice looking unbeaten record, huge imposing looking guy himself, and based on what ive seen of him prob gets ktfo without much fuss.

ajagba would be decent for someone who is more dangerous than that, but still based on his last fight you'd think zhang would bang him something nasty

I'd much prefer Parker was allowed the privilege, after all the smack talk from Whyte since- this is probably the first genuine beef in Parker's career

Whyte Parker sounds good, can see it being one sided but would be a good little build up and event

I'd like this too. Be interesting to see if Zhang's performance there was an off night.

I’d lean towards a very good night for Parker.

Zhang just needs to work on endurance. He's fucked mid way through. I love watching him though

do you think he could change his endurance at his age? Not being sarcastic, I'm interested to know if you can make CV improvements after 40. Especially at his size.

I knew guys who improved it doing loads of hill sprints and shit like that but they were a bit younger. It probably is age

It's a marvel he's fighting at that level at 41. He's a fit man for sure. I think about boxing now and it makes me want to throw up
