On the undercard of the light-heavyweight world title bout between Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev, Deontay Wilder will square off against Zhilei Zhang in a heavyweight match.

Shortly before he was supposed to announce a now-canceled matchup with Anthony Joshua, Wilder, who engaged in an exciting trilogy of fights with Tyson Fury, also suffered a shocking loss to Parker.
