The WBC announces Zhilei Zhang and Agit Kabayel will fight for the interim heavyweight title, with Anthony Joshua potentially facing the winner. This exciting development unfolds while the world awaits the Usyk-Fury rematch for the undisputed championship.
Two of the heavyweight division’s biggest punchers, Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang, face off this weekend in a pivotal bout. Both fighters are coming off losses to Joseph Parker, making this a crossroads fight for their careers. With age and recent defeats weighing on them, a loss could prompt retirement for either fighter. The Wilder vs. Zhang fight headlines the ‘5v5’ PPV event on DAZN, which begins streaming on Saturday, June 1, at 2:00 p.m. ET. A DAZN subscription is required to watch the PPV, which costs $70 but includes a one-month free trial. DAZN offers various subscription options after the trial ends, including a $30 monthly plan, a $225 annual plan, and a $20 per month installment plan for a one-year commitment. DAZN hosts boxing events frequently, most of which are not pay-per-view.
Deontay Wilder remains open to facing Anthony Joshua despite the latter’s potential bout with Tyson Fury. Wilder has teamed up with Eddie Hearn, former adversary of Wilder’s promoter Shelly Finkel, to face Zhilei Zhang in Saudi Arabia on June 1st. Joshua is set to return in September, and Wilder is ready to seize the opportunity should he overcome Zhang.
