Szpilka - Adamek looking more real every day for October 18 in Poland. Adamek has accepted the terms, Szpilka was talking about this fight for years.

I read on a Polish website that Arreola wasn't interested in the fight. Adamek said he didn't want to fight another Pole, but being a pro boxer he feels he has little choice but to fight Szpilka.

Adamek vs. Szpilka is an interesting crossroads fight. The winner will be back in the heavyweight mix.

LOL at their 'attempts' to talk each other up. They are both way too well behaved and gentleman like for that

I understand most of the German language, and this was some schoolyard stuff, lol.

No, he wasn't. That is one relaxed Vladimir right there.

If he wants a voluntary, he can have one.

Stiverne is willing to fight Wilder in November, but Don King may have other plans.

The WBC rules allow defenses against any of the WBC Top 10 without asking the WBC. Fights against the Top 15 or another "worthy fighter" require the consent of the WBC.

He has to fight the mandatory challenger in the first year after earning the belt.

That means he could basicly fight against Top 10 challengers 2 or 3 times and then fight the mandatory. However I have the feeling that anyone in the Top 10 is a risk that could take that title. Doing a money fight makes most sense. In the top 10 the fights that would bring most money are Wilder, Povetkin or Tyson Fury. I believe that Wilder is the guy with most things unknown, so I guess they will take that fight.

1. Deontay Wilder
2. Bryant Jennings
3. Mike Perez
4. Alexander Povetkin
5. Carlos Takam
6. Chris Arreola
7. Derek Chisora
8. Lucas Browne
9. Vyacheslav Glazkov
10. Tyson Fury
