Unbeaten Chinese Heavyweight “Big Bang” Zhang Zhilei (23-0-1, 18 KO's), weighing 274 pounds, looked impressive in speedily decking and stopping brave Craig Lewis (14-5-1, 8 KO’s)) in just two chapters Saturday, Nov 27, at the MSG live on DAZN.

After the win, the “Big Bang” Zhang feels ready for tougher opponents in the hot heavyweight division.

Official time of the KO was 2:10 minutes in round two, although it seemed that referee Shada Murdaugh could have halted actions seconds earlier to spare the already damaged and unsteady Lewis from further unnecessary big blows.

The battle was one of the supporting bouts for the hot Teofimo Lopez vs George Kambosos Jnr rumble, promoted by Matchroom Boxing.
