Philadelphia, PA—Undefeated heavyweight contender Bryant Jennings, with his sights set on a world heavyweight championship fight, now is willing to step in for the injured Jonathon Banks and take on once-beaten Seth Mitchell on Feb. 16 in Atlantic City, NJ

I love this guy Bryant Jennings.

In an age where there so many pampered, overprotected fighters, he's willing to fight anybody, anywhere, anytime.

[Rip Chudd]

Oh please yes, I would love this fight

Bryant Jennings is my favorite fighter right now. I communicate with him on the social networks. He's cool as hell, and he's a straight g! He would whoop Seth Mitchell's ass. This Mitchell guy is half a chump. And Jennings looks better every fight and has already beaten a former champ. Hope this fight happens.

I don't like this fight for either guy. I like them both. This fight is a dangerous for either guy. Another loss for Mitchell would be career threatening. And a loss to Mitchell for Jennings would slow the wonderful progress he's making.

I'd prefer Jennings get a payday losing to Wlad than for him to risk his career on a modest payday with Mitchell.
