What is next for WBC World Heavyweight Champion Deontay "The Bronze Bomber" Wilder?

[Frank23]

WBC World Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder 33-0 (32 KO's), 29, a chiseled 6-foot-7 fighter from Tuscaloosa, Ala., rates among the best young heavyweights in the world. He is coming off a unanimous decision victory over former heavyweight titlist Bermane Stiverne.

Wilder: "I don't want anyone to doubt me anymore."

Deontay Wilder: "I'm so happy to bring this belt back to America officially. I've got some of the best fans in the world."

Wilder: "I think I answered a lot of questions tonight. I already knew I could go 12 hard rounds and take a punch. I'm just excited."

Wilder is the proud owner of a world heavyweight title courtesy of a superb performance in a one-sided decision victory against Bermane Stiverne on Saturday night before 8,454 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Wilder was in total control for most of the fight, winning 120-107, 119-108 and 118-109 as he went past four rounds for the first time in his career in a fight almost everybody was sure would end in a knockout.

It might not have ended in a knockout, but Wilder, a 2008 U.S. Olympic bronze medalist and the last American male boxer to medal in the Olympics, won decisively. In doing so he brought a heavyweight world title back to the United States for the first time since Shannon Briggs in 2006 -- and on Muhammad Ali's 73rd birthday, no less.

What is next for him?

 

[heavyarms21]

Wilder vs Fury

Wilder vs Tony Thompson

Wilder vs Arreola

Also he should try to jump on the Mythical Pac and Money fight card to give the world maximum exposure to the first American HW champ in years

Jennings probably will decide to fight Wilder instead of Wlad.

I like this idea.

 

[heavyarms21]

I like this idea.

Also someone mentioned NBC in the other thread and thst would also give him good media exposure

[heavyarms21]

Hell yeah magic giving some love

How about Andy Ruiz Jr. ?

How about Andy Ruiz Jr. ?

Bob Arum and Al Haymon don't mix in this situation. Ruiz is a Top Rank fighter, if I'm not mistaken. Jennings or Fury seems more likely.

That Fatty needs a salad

You could scratch off Jennings vs Wilder. Jennings fight against Wlad is happing and is a done deal.

I guess Wilder will be matched up against the likes of Charr, Fury, Tony Thompson, Szpilka.

That's no problem. Maybe we see the big match for undisputed champ in November.

He says 2015 is his year. Plans on no salads to sustain his power.

[heavyarms21]

Don't buy into Fatty

 

[Scott Baiowulf]

I don't blame Bryant for cashing in. He'll still be a top HW when Wlad retires.

If Fury's uncle can stay healthy I'd love to see what he can offer Wilder. I'd order that on PPV actually

 

[Buddy Revell]

Imagine if Jennings beats Wlad- a fight versus Deontay could be huge. I'd imagine Wlad has it written into his contract that he gets immediate rematch, and then if that fails- Vitali probably has the option to comes out of retirement again.

 

[XThe GreatestX]

good for him man. great to have an american hw champ again

That would be a bigger upset that when Brewster and Sanders KOed Wlad since those 2 had a good number of KOs on their record. If Jennings beats him it will be a straight boxing clinic by him
