"The other Zhang" to fight in Toronto

Heavyweight Junlong Zhang from China [not to be confused with Chinese heavyweight Zhilei Zhang, the former Olympic medal winner who recently fought Filip Hrgovic in an IBF eliminator] will fight Germany´s Erdogan Kadrija on October 15th at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel in Canada. A pro for almost exactly ten years, “The Dragon King” is 19-0 with 18 KOs  After seventeen bouts in China, the 40 year-old southpaw recently relocated to Canada and had his first fight in his new home country this past May when he went the distance for the first time but won a clear unanimous decision over Mexico's Guillermo Casas. He will now be looking to start a new knockout streak against Kosovo-born Kadrija, 18-5 (12), who is a considerable underdog but will travel to Canada determined to cause an upset by scoring the biggest win of his career.
 
The Zhang vs. Kadrija show will be promoted by Brother Boxing Promotions and Armand Teodorescu.
