Terry Lane, manager to WBO Interim heavyweight champ Zhilei Zhang

Fightnews.com caught up with Terry Lane, son of the late, great legendary referee Mills Lane and manager to WBO Interim heavyweight champ Zhilei Zhang from China. Lane is in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia as Zhang prepares to face former WBO heavyweight champ Joseph Parker on Friday, March 8 and live on DAZN. Lane shared stories about his dad as the ref in the infamous "Fan Man" fight at Hoylfield-Bowe II and the Holyfield-Tyson II "Ear Bite" fight. He talked about how he and his brother Tommy got involved with Zhang and their hopes for a showdown with one of the marquee names in the heavyweight division such as Anthony Joshua, Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder and much more in this exclusive interview.

I think Zhang beats Ngannou

[@raulcitraro]

Zhang has deceiving hand speed and power. I believe he would KO JOSHUA!

[@shinlee2579]

Congratulations to Terry for doing an excellent job to promote Zhilei Zhang with great integrity! Big Bangg Zhang will beat Fury and Joshua!

[@raulcitraro]

Terry Lane inherited the kindness of his dad. Miles Lane was my favorite referee, a fantastic human being. I had the chance to meet him in Vegas. R.I.P.! LET 'S GET IT ON!!

[@andrepapanicolaou3288]

Yeah why is there a rematch clause !

[@bruceleeroythatswho]

joyce had one zhang had to beat him twice in the uk . Parker didnt beat joyce as we know but cant realy blame zhang given the dodgy judging too .

[@bruceleeroythatswho]

we love zhang in the uk capable of beating any one like to see fury aj wilder performing like zhang age 40?

Kudos to Both Warriors/Fighters & teams making this exciting fight However I'm disappointed by another selfish rematch clause used by the Zhang camp this slows down boxing-this clause should only be allowed for an undisputed Champion only. Joseph Parker to his credit has never used rematch clauses even in his AJ unification fight yet AJ did, It does make one think Zhang is not 100% confident?

[@bruceleeroythatswho]

zhang had to beat joyce twice in the uk plus the dodgy judging that can occur. Plus his age . he took on hergavich when no body wanted too and joyce it's the game not confidance .

If the KZbinr wanna-be wants to gain credibility as a boxer, he would have to go up against ASBAROV, a highly skilled fighter with a 5-0-0 record, who is currently ranked in the RING CRUISERWEIGHT RANKINGS. In addition, there's ZHANG, ranked 15 in the same rankings, with a record of 11-2-1, and Cheavon Clarke, a top-ranked contender with a record of 8-0-0. Clarke has won all 8 of his bouts, with 6 of them ending in knockouts, giving him a current knockout ratio of 75%. His fights typically last for 5 rounds, and he has boxed a total of 40 rounds so far.
