Israel Adesanya Places Big Money Bet On Deontay Wilder for KO Victory Against Zhilei Zhang Tonight

Israel Adesanya bets $10,000 on Deontay Wilder for a knockout victory in heavyweight boxing fight against Zhilei Zhang.

Former two-time UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, known for his striking prowess and impressive fighting skills, has shown his support for former WBC world champion, Deontay Wilder, ahead of the highly anticipated heavyweight boxing match against Chinese star, Zhilei Zhang. Adesanya, who has been out of action since his defeat against Sean Strickland last year, has been rumored to make a comeback against South African star, Dricus du Plessis, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

In a bold move, Adesanya has placed a $10,000 bet on Wilder to secure a knockout victory against Zhang in Saudi Arabia. If Wilder emerges victorious in the manner predicted by Adesanya, the City Kickboxing star stands to win a handsome $26,000 payout. Adesanya shared his excitement for the fight by posting "Bombs away" on his social media account along with a snapshot of his betting slip.

Wilder, who has faced a series of setbacks in his recent fights, including losses to Tyson Fury, is determined to bounce back with a win against Zhang. A defeat tonight could potentially lead to talks of retirement for the Tuscaloosa native, adding more pressure to the already intense match-up. Zhang, on the other hand, is riding high on a streak of victories and will be looking to add Wilder to his list of conquered opponents.

As the fight night approaches, the tension and anticipation in the air are palpable. Adesanya's show of support for Wilder adds an extra layer of excitement to an already thrilling match-up. Fans around the world are eagerly waiting to see how the fight unfolds and whether Adesanya's bet on Wilder will pay off in the end.
