Zhilei Zhang, the 41-year-old Chinese heavyweight known as “Big Bang,” is set to face Germany’s undefeated Agit Kabayel this Saturday, February 22, at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The bout will determine the interim WBC heavyweight champion, a pivotal step for both fighters in their pursuit of global dominance in the division.
Zhilei Zhang has a professional record of 27-2-1 (22 KOs). He has been a prominent figure in boxing, earning accolades such as an Olympic silver medal and a WBO interim heavyweight title. Despite a recent loss to Joseph Parker, Zhang rebounded with an emphatic fifth-round TKO victory over former world champion Deontay Wilder last June.
