Zhang Weili’s Coach Says MacKenzie Dern Is “The Fight To Make” Next

After the ex-strawweight champion's failed attempt to become a two-division champ at flyweight, her coach says a return now points straight at the new strawweight champion. “There’s a clear-cut path; go back and take that title from McKenzie,” he said, adding, “That’s Wilie’s belt; no disrespect to MacKenzie.” Zhang lost to Shevchenko in November. Meanwhile, Dern grabbed strawweight gold in October.
