REPORT: VISA ISSUES FOR ZHANG ZHILEI
Respected web site Asian Boxing reports that a battle between two fringe contenders in the heavyweight division will not go forward because China's Zhang Zhilei (20-0) could not get a visa to enter Monte Carlo, the site of the planned bout. Zhilei was booked to fight 41 year-old Russian Alexander Ustinov (34-2) on a Matchroom show on November 24th. Zhilei's passport was reportedly handed into the Chinese embassy in the US, where he has been training, and it has not yet been returned to him. Zhilei's training mate, light heavyweight Meng Fanlong (13-0) is still expected to fight in Monte Carlo against Enngland's Frank Buglioni (22-3-1). --Scott Shaffer
