Wilder's next opponent?

[kiDynamite92]

Fury won't take the fight since he's already in line for wlad and that fight will probably happen later this year. Jennings is booked, chisora is shot so there really isn't that many options.

Maybe Andy Ruiz?

No chance as long as Ruiz is with Top Rank and Wilder is with Haymon.

Nah, that guy is behind the line already set up by Haymon:

1). Fury
2). A Salsa type fighter
3). TBD - to be determined
4). TBA - to be announced
5). talk to my adviser Haymon
6). A Haymon fighter of B to B- level aka Garcia vs Pederson (Hype job fight)
7). Retire for a year or two say there ain't no competition - probably avoiding another European Superman
8). Cab driver opponent as comeback fight after the European beast fighter is defeated or retired
9). Repeat and recycle

The Briggs novelty would only be entertaining against Wlad.

I think Tarver or Briggs have the name recognition and would be good experience fights for a young champ who is still developing . Just add a drug testing clause in the contracts and they should be somewhat safe defenses of the title and good names on his resume .

Tyson Fury fights a tune-up in 1 month. Wilder has stated he is willing to travel to the UK. It would match two top-5 heavyweights. This is a must-see fight. I hope it goes down next for Wilder.

What's Big George Foreman up to these days ?

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.

I agree.

But Briggs is not an accetable opponent in my opinion, no matter hor crazy he is.

Maybe Stiverne-Briggs , that I'd understand, but Wilder just stepped up, his first defense should be against a guy who is in the top 10-15.

Wilder - Fury would be a great fight.
