Who should Wilder fight next? Ruiz? Rivas? Ortiz again?

[Scotland The Brave]

He doesn't seem like someone who will want to retire.
AJ, Usyk, Whyte, Joyce aren't realistic options.
So who would be the best opponent to bring him back into contention?
Ortiz is a waste of time IMHO.
Ruiz is a good option I think, to prove he's still relevant.
Rivas, for the Bridgerweight title, might be a good idea.
They'd both get paid well and Wilder might become two-weight champ, albeit in the fake division.

Ruiz or Helenius would be exciting

[Gypshot]

Ruiz stops him he better face Helenius but even there he might get beat too.

[TMLT87]

Ruiz, Martin or Helenius.

[Scotland The Brave]

Ruiz, Martin or Helenius.

He'd probably destroy Martin and possibly destroy Helenius too. So those are good options to make him look good so he can finally get a massive payday fighting Joshua in a UK stadium in late 2022.

[JakeTheBoxer]

Martin or Helenius level opponent.

After that Ruiz.

[KTFOKING]

I'd like him to take on a bit of a soft touch and then go after Ruiz/Wallin/Whyte if he can't get Joshua.

Joshua vs Wilder is still a big fight even if Joshua loses to Usyk in a rematch.

hes the probably king! in reality he got stopped twice by the paulie maliganggi of heavyweight.

[rully]

it's time for prospects to be contenders. Wilder will stay relevant if he face tougher opponents and not cherry picking like when he had the belt, which means fighting prime opponents age late 20's to early 30s. Although Wilder is 35, I see that he's still physically strong given relatively few rounds throughout his careers. Ruiz, Whyte, DDD, Parker, Yoka, Hrgovic, or even Gassiev are good options to gear up before another championship fight, if the opportunity arises. Depends on how Usyk AJ rematch, I think eventually the one of belts will be dropped by the champion if fail to commit mandatory fights

[Damn Wicked]

He should fight Kownacki
