Comments Thread For: Bryant Jennings Eager To Face Stiverne-Wilder Winner

[JakeNDaBox]

As heavyweight titlist Bermane Stiverne and unbeaten challenger Deontay Wilder wait on the sidelines while their camps continue to finalize terms for their overdue heavyweight title fight, the line of future challengers continues to grow.

Whenever the fight happens—currently targeted for the 1st quarter of 2015—the winner will already have to look forward to a mandatory title defense versus Bryant Jennings. The undefeated and athletically gifted heavyweight from Philadelphia earned his place in line following a points win over Mike Perez at Madison Square Garden in July.

Jennings took the fight knowing there was a strong chance he would have to wait around for the mess between Stiverne (24-1, 21KOs) and Wilder (32-0, 32KOs)—and specifically Don King (Stiverne's promoter) and Al Haymon (Wilder's adviser)—to sort out. There was a chance for a stay busy fight in November, but the 30-year old contender would rather await the main course rather than nibble on appetizers.


“I could have fought this month but my mind is set on fighting for the WBC world title,” said Jennings (19-0, 10KOs). “I worked my way to the top of the WBC rankings and now it's time for me to make my mark in history." [Click Here To Read More]

My ideal 2015 for HW action:

Jennings vs Wilder-Stiverne winner
Wladimir vs Fury-Chisora winner

Wladimir vs Wilder in late 2015 for the undisputed championship. :box2:

Next year should be an exciting HW year, given everything pans out with promotion, etc.

I like Jennings willingness to work his way to the top fighting contenders.

I hope he doesnt get fed to Wlad before he's ready

I agree.

Pretty sure the winner of Wilder-Stiverne has an immediate mandatory (Jennings).

Wladimir is mandated to fight the winner of Fury-Chisora, but he'll have plenty of flex on this, given that he fought his WBO mandatory, Leapai, recently. IMO, it should all be about cementing his legacy now. Fight the winner of Fury-Chisora in early 2015, then go for the winner of Jennings-Wilder/Stiverne.

Jennings should be fighting Stiverne, not Wilder. He is also unbeaten against much better opposition than Deontay has ever faced.

Jennings might just be better saying "fcuk it" and instead fight Klitschko early next year. Who know how long King and Wilder are going to drag on these tedious negotiations. Tbh Jennings will probably make more money fighting Klitschko as well. What did Arreola get for his title shot? Something like $70'000. Pathetic.

Yeah I'm getting the feeling there's stuff going on behind the scenes with Wilder and Stiverne that no one is onto and I think that fight might end up getting ruined. I got a real bad feeling about it anyway. Smell something fishy over there and I think it's Don King's wrinkly old fish anus.
