Deontay was defeated very badly by Joseph Parker at the end of the last year, while his Chinese opponent also suffered a defeat from Parker in his last time that he stepped on the ring in the past month.
The upcoming match between the American and Zhang was confirmed in London today.
The American boxer revealed he treats the upcoming bout as “his last dance.”
“When the time comes to step on the ring, we see if I got it or not. I’m holding it as my last dance, my last opportunity,” Deontay shared with the media.
Both boxers will need the victory after the losses against Joseph as they want to be among the contenders in the heavyweight division.
