Zhilei Zhang has the chance to build on his mixed 2024 as he prepares to step back into the ring tonight as part of Riyadh Season's The Last Crescendo, live on DAZN.

Now, his latest challenge is almost here as part of a stacked mega-card considered by many to be the greatest of all time - and here is everything you need to know about it.
