Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Says 'Risk' of Stay Busy Fight is Worth It

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Heavyweight destroyer Deontay Wilder (31-0, 31KOs) says the risk of taking a stay busy fight is well worth the risk. Wilder will return on August 16th at the StubHub Center in Carson, California.

He is the mandatory challenger to WBC champion Bermane Stiverne. An injury to Stiverne has pushed back their matchup until the end of the year. Because he's had only five rounds of activity in the last twelve months, Wilder demanded more ring time while waiting for the Stiverne fight to get finalized.

He wanted to fight for the WBC title next. It's not his fault that Stiverne is allegedly injured.

You say that like Golovkin never fought Adama. I'd rather have a fighter stay active all year long, even if it meant fighting cans, than fighting only 2 times a year.

'Risk'?

[turnedup]

People criticize this like Stiverne ain't gonna ask for a tuneup himself...he's probably not going to see his title shot actually come to fruition for a while so get a check in between.
