Dereck Chisora predicts that Zhilei Zhang will knock out former WBC champion Deontay Wilder in 10 days, leaving him on June 1 in their twelve-round bout live on DAZN PPV at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Chisora Foresaw Wilder's Downfall
Wilder has a lot to gain if he wins because he could get a fight that benefits Anthony Joshua or be ranked fourth against Tyson Fury.
Wilder is already rich, so the money is probably not enough to motivate him to go to war with Zhang in this fight. If Wilder was still hungry and hadn't made his millions into the sport, he would fight tooth and nail against Zhang and risk everything. However, with an estimated net worth of $50 million, Wilder doesn't need to put his chin on the line against Zhang.
It will take courage for Wilder to score a goal against Zhang because he will be disqualified if he fails to attack at the start of their fight on June 1.
The 38-year-old Wilder has lost three of his last four fights since 2020, and it's hard to believe he'll be able to find the fire he once had to defeat two-time Olympian Zhang (26-2, 21 KOs) on June 1st.
Wilder talked this week about going back to his roots to become the slacker he was during the best years of his career, but few believe him. These are just words from Wilder but almost without any real conviction.
The Psychological Impact of Past Loss
2008 Olympian Wilder is believed to have a shot at two knockouts against Tyson Fury in 2020 and 2021, and is not finding the courage he once had in his game to let go of his right hand to give him his best chance to win. to win.
The 'Bronze Bomber' Wilder seems to fear opposition from his opponents, and we saw that loud and closed in his latest loss to Joseph Parker last December. Wilder didn't even try to throw his right hand in that fight.
“Wilder will sleep,” Dereck Chisora told the media today, predicting that Deontay Wilder will be knocked out by Zhilei Zhang in their fight on June 1 in Riyadh.
“Wilder sleeps and quits then and there,” Chisora said when asked if he would want to fight Deontay if he loses to Zhang. “What is there for him to come back?”
That would be a disappointment if Wilder loses to Zhang by knockout and retires without attempting a comeback. But at that point, Wilder's record would be 1-4 in his last five fights, and it would be futile to continue his declining career.
