Just added to the undercard The most intriguing bout on the undercard is between heavyweight contenders Filip Hrgovic and Zhilei Zhang. The fight will be an eliminator for the IBF World Heavyweight Championship, a belt that Oleksandr Usyk or Anthony Joshua will hold at the end of the night. Hrgovic (14-0) will enter the bout as the favorite. When the IBF intended to set the eliminator bout in February, Tony Yoka and Zhilei Zhang were reportedly the only fighters that were willing to fight Hrgovic. Since then, Yoka has lost to Martin Bakole and now Zhang will face Hrgovic. Matchroom Boxing, who are promoting the event, and Wasserman Boxing co-promote Hrgovic. ‘El Animal’ has been tipped for big things since he turned professional. He is a former European Amateur Gold Medalist and an Olympic Bronze medalist. Zhilei Zhang was highly thought of as a heavyweight boxer. A potential clash in China with Anthony Joshua and Zhang has often been reportedly in the works. A big fight never came to fruition, but beating Hrgovic could finally give Zhang that opportunity.
