Why Wilder is Hearn's Team Captain? Zhilei Knows

Chinese heavyweight boxer Zhang Zhilei (26-2-1, 21 KOs) shared his thoughts on why his opponent Deontay Wilder (43-3-1, 42 KOs) was chosen as the captain of Eddie Hearn's team in the 5 vs 5 tournament.

"I think Hearn made a mistake. I believe he chose Wilder as the captain to kiss his a** and sign a promotional contract," said Zhilei.

In the event of Wilder's victory over Zhilei, he will earn his team twice as many points as anyone else. A win by judges' decision can bring 2 points instead of 1. A knockout will earn 4 points instead of 2 like everyone else.

The fights will take place on June 1 in Saudi Arabia. It was previously announced that there would be a bonus for the winning team.
