Will Wilder Fight The Stiverne/Areolla Winner or Has It Been All Talk?

[Da Machine]

What do yo guys think?

Pretty big step up for him if he actually does it.

I say he doesn't.

BTW, I'm actually excited for Areolla-Stiverne on regular ESPN. Can't say that very often for the HW division.

From my understanding the WBC has guaranteed Wilder a shot at the winner

I hope he does. He's fought nothing but cab drivers up to this point, so a step up in competition would be good for him.

He needed more time to work with more game journeymen before climbing up the rankings, but yes, when the time comes for his shot, he'll take it.

I think it depends on how Stiverne/Arreola perform. If one of them looks great and starches the other, then Wilder may look elsewhere to actual get a win over a legit fighter to prepare himself. But if both look sluggish, he will probably jump right in
