The highly anticipated boxing match between Deontay Wilder (43-4-1) and Zhilei Zhang (27-2-1) concluded with a stunning knockout victory for Zhang in the main event of 5 vs. Wilder 5v5 live on DAZN.
The fight started with Wilder landing a solid right hand, energizing him and prompting him to unleash a barrage of punches. However, Zhang weathered the storm and gradually gained momentum.
In a moment of brilliance, Zhang connected with a devastating punch that sent Wilder crashing to the canvas. The referee stopped the fight, declaring Zhang the victor via knockout in the fifth round.
