How do you even defend Figueroa/Demarco?

There was literally nobody else left in his division or surrounding divisions for him to fight... so he has to ask Demarco, who came off a bad fight, to come out of retirement and fight him?

I don't blame Demarco because he's probably getting money and it's hard to turn down... but jesus wtf? This guy is supposed to be one of your rising stars...

DeMarco sucks ass. Figueroa should be fighting for a title. This is bullshyt.


Omar Figueroa VS Amir Imam would be great too.

I'm satisfied with the main event on the promise we get a unification or mandatory next up for Wilder, he's lined up two soft touches now and really has no room to say he ain't had time to face guys who could prepare him to face sterner opposition.

Did the French dude even bother to show up for the press conference?

Did the French dude even bother to show up for the press conference?

They announced him as the opponent yesterday. Probably too short notice for him to travel

His mandatory is Povetkin, whom Team Wilder have made perfectly clear they want absolutely nothing to do with.

It will be another soft touch.

This will go down as one of the all time great heavyweight championship fights:

Tunney vs Dempsey
Louis vs Schmeling
Ali vs Frazier
Tyson vs Holyfield
Wilder vs Duhaupas

Can't wait for this epic battle!!!!
