Wilder to have another voluntary defense.

It looks like the WBC is allowing the Slamma' from Alabama to have yet another voluntary, before facing his mandatory challenger Povetkin.

 

This makes sense, really, since Povetkin has a bout scheduled for November (the WBC should have stopped that from happening) and since Wilder has said many times that he wants to fight 5-6 times a year. God blessim', & lord knows he needs the experience.

 

I just hope he fights someone with a pulse this time. Someone who will actually prepare him for the powerful, aggressive infighter that is Sasha Povetkin. So, who would you pick, if you were Jay Deas and wanted an actual, experience-giving challenge?

 

--------------------------------

 

Cabbies lined up, hopeful for a chance to be picked as Wilder's next opponent:

Give Bryant Jennings a shot. If he beats Jennings by knockout, he can flaunt that in Wlad's face. If he wins a decision, he can just shrug and say "Jennings is a tough fighter, that went 12 with Wlad."

Repsac, I really like this idea!

 

Plus, Jennings is exactly the right kind of fighter to prepare Wilder for Povetkin. (yet not overly dangerous)

 

Plus, it would cement the idea that Wilder is absolutely the best American heavyweight.

Got a feeling Wilder is going to lobby for an exception from Povetkin in order to right a unification with Klitschko/Fury in the new year. The team around him must know the danger Povetkin poses

One of the big stiff idiot journeyman like Kevin Johnson or Tony Thompson (if they are still in the game?), or if he wants some UK recognition Derek Chisora. ANy of those realistic??
