60 million fans see Zhang’s victory

Joyce, who suffered the first defeat of his career as a professional boxer by a technical knockout against Zhang, has to take a back seat in that respect. The 39-year-old Chinese now focuses on the fight against Fury.

Zhang is already introducing the duel to the English media with declarations of war. He is convinced that he can bring Fury to his knees.

Should it really come to a brawl, the management of the Chinese is aiming for the Bird’s Nest Stadium in Beijing, which can accommodate 80,000 spectators, or the MGM Casino in Macau, according to the English “Sun”. The fact that Zhang’s victory was followed by some 60 million fans on TikTok would also make a fight for Fury a lucrative affair.

For his latest victory – a fight against compatriot Derek Chisora ​​in front of 60,000 spectators in London – Fury received a grant of 24 million euros and a large share of the TV revenue. Will Fury hit China’s jackpot now? (dti)
