Fight winner, analysis, what’s next

Zhilei Zhang came back from a March loss and stopped Deontay Wilder in round five with a huge right hand in the main event of Saturday’s Queensberry vs. Matchroom ‘5v5’ card in Saudi Arabia.

Both fighters were coming off of losses to former world champion Joesph Parker, each needing wins to stay alive as a top contender in an always evolving heavyweight division. Zhang does just that, while this fight may be the last time we see Wilder in the ring.

The fight had yet to heat up in round 5, when out of nowhere Zhang caught Wilder with a strong right hand, spinning him around and clearly dazing him. Zhang jumped on the out of sorts Wilder and caught him with his back turned, landing another huge right that sat Wilder down.
