    Wilder's next opponent?

    Who would it be? I could see Fury travelling to America, but it's a risky fight. He could fight Shannon Briggs, that would be entertaining.

    He'll get a voluntary since Jennings was the second mando and chose Klit instead. Povetkin silver champ and next in line, but he has a WBC eliminator with Perez later

        Maybe Andy Ruiz?

          I would like a Shannon Briggs scrap. My only concern is that Wilder is coming in lighter for his fights as of recent, this wouldn't fair well if he is fighting the bigger foes of his division.

              The HW division is heating up and Wilder needs to keep up the steam and not fight some no-name to defend the prestigious belt. Needs to be a top ten guy or his credibility vanishes. That rules out Briggs obviously, but he would be the lone acceptable exception because he is crazy and sells and was the last previous American champion.

                  Antonio Tarver is still viable enough option for a voluntary defense. Looking down the WBC heavyweight rankings, the Glazkov-Cunningham winner could also warrant an opportunity (whether Duva and Haymon can come to reasonable enough terms is in question).

                  Outside of Klitschko, none of the other heavyweights have been able to set their names apart, so it doesn't really matter who he fights as long as he fights.

                  As long as Wilder keeps his face out there (if his management was on top of things, he'd be booked to do Good Morning America ABC, The Today Show NBC, and This Morning CBS, before spending the rest of the day doing the ESPN shows) the momentum will move just fine.
