WATCH: Zhilei Zhang Claims a Dominating First Round KO Victory Over Scott Alexander: Canelo vs Bivol Undercard Results
Undoubtedly, fans were excited to witness the main event WBA (super) light heavyweight title clash between undefeated reigning champion Dmitry Bivol and undisputed current super middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez. Moreover, another intriguing fight fans got to witness was the heavyweight bout between Zhilei Zhang and Scott Alexander.
Initially, Zhang was scheduled to face Filip Hrgovic in an IBF title eliminator bout. However, Hrgovic had to pull out from the fight on May 2 due to his father’s demise. As a result, Scott Alexander stepped in on short notice and this fight is no more a title eliminator bout.
Zhang, who was 23-0-1 coming into the fight, was coming off a dominating knockout victory over Craig Lewis. Meanwhile, Alexander, who was 16-5-2 coming into the fight, was coming off a loss against Carlos Negron.
