Currently a rumor from The Ring website.
http://******.craveonline.com/news/400869-is-bryant-jennings-next-for-deontay-wilder
I’ve been hearing this rumor for many moons now. Next for Deontay Wilder, after a couple of softball slam-fests, will be a step-up match.
Two steps, actually.
January. Bryant Jennings. The “Bronze Bomber” vs. the athletic Philly hitter who impressed many by hanging right there with Wladimir Klitschko when they tussled in NYC in April.
The rumor solidified when Jennings referenced him versus the Alabaman on his Instagram.
I followed up, reached out to some Jennings people, to check the veracity of the post and am awaiting a touch-back. I also messaged a Wilder envoy to ask the same.
Meanwhile, let’s keep on the train to Rumorville and chat about this puncher/boxer vs. boxer tangle while we chug along…Wilder is better than detractors believe but some jurists are still deliberating, with some thinking he could have – if he did really have detonative fists – take out an Eric Molina and Johann Duhaupus in more crisp fashion. Neither are even B-plus boxers, after all…Jennings got a late start in boxing, made up immense ground, but still needs to make a leap. Skill, some solid traits…but will be getting more ops on big stages and needs to prove he belongs there.
Time will tell.
Yes it will. I think clearly there's some fire going on, with multiple sources going on. Wilder is fighting SOMEONE in January that seems obvious..
This was to be expected, Jennings is too high of a caliber fighter compared to Duhuapas and Molina.
Who do you believe, Rafael or Mannix? Dan Rafael is pretty much wrong on everything, so take it with a grain of salt..
Strong indications that Deontay Wilder-@BYJennings could happen in mid-late January on SHO. Likeliest venue: Barclays Center in Brooklyn.— Chris Mannix (@ChrisMannixSI) October 7, 2015
check it out he sounds like a diva
Jennings is cool by me, just laughing at the idea of him holding a parade for the Wlad fight.
Would you have showed up?
Seriously. The guy lives as if he won the fight :lol1:
I'm surprised he didn't parade on an open top car through Philly!
jennings did seem quite ****y and smug after winning a whopping round or two against wlad,,lol. hell of an accomplishment against a 40 yr old past his prime wlad
:lol1:hilarious visual

Can't see Jennings doing anything with Wilder either. He lives off getting "close" to Klitschko when in reality he lost pretty much 11/12 out of 12 rounds.
Wlad had a bad night vs him, it happens at almost 40. Wilder won't be the same.
I agree. jennings doesnt have the pop to get to wilder and would probably lose a decision

Jennings---->>>Povetkin-----> Klitchko. That would be an insane run that would shut the haters up.
Even if he loses there is no shame to dropping one to those caliber of fighters.
haha.....I think mike perez may differ on that opinion. jennings went life and death with him. winning one or two rounds against an aging past his best wlad doesnt make you a beast. povetkin would easily beat jennings

Naw all jennings does is nag. Watch his interviews he keeps pricing himself out crying about he went 12 with klitch so he expects 7 figs its on the boxing voice
