Edo Man Deontay Wilder set to face China's Zhilei Zhang

Two heavyweight bouts involving four of the top ten competitors are almost finalized.

Zhilei Zhang and Deontay Wilder are completing the details of their June 1 fight in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The two heavyweight matches are slated to occur on the undercard of the much-awaited contest for the undisputed light heavyweight championship between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev.

In an attempt to stay relevant in the glamorous division of boxing, Zhang and Wilder step into the ring.

Following their decision losses to Joseph Parker in Riyadh, both boxers are in shock.

Plans for a much-anticipated fight between Anthony Joshua and Demetrius Wilder were derailed when the former heavyweight champion stunned everyone in December by defeating the American by a big margin of points.

Instead, Joshua went on to brutally knock out Francis Ngannou, and Parker pulled off another upset earlier this month when he defeated Zhang via decision. Zhang dropped Parker twice during the fight but was outclassed overall.

Instead of following the typical boxing path of making a comeback, Wilder and Zhang will now engage in a high-stakes match that will set the winner up for another major heavyweight match.

On May 18 in Riyadh, two weeks prior, Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk would square off for the undisputed heavyweight title.
