The battle of two heavyweights with a proven track record to take on all comers was spent largely at close quarters. Parker, No. 4 at HVY, was subtle in his movement but not nearly as successful early as he was throughout his December 23 points win over former WBC heavyweight titlist Deontay Wilder in this very venue. China’s Zhang, No. 3 at HVY, kept the former WBO heavyweight titleholder in his desired punching range and landed the more telling blows.

Finally, boxing fans could look forward to a long-delayed match-up, when Evander Holyfield agreed to fight Tyson in November of 1996 for the heavyweight championship. Against all odds the 34-year-old Holyfield ended what Sports Illustrated’s Richard Hoffer called Tyson’s “machinery of menace,” when he won a technical knockout in the eleventh round.
