Deontay Wilder vs Bryant Jennings next?

[flem1]

Currently a rumor from The Ring website.

I’ve been hearing this rumor for many moons now. Next for Deontay Wilder, after a couple of softball slam-fests, will be a step-up match.

Two steps, actually.

January. Bryant Jennings. The “Bronze Bomber” vs. the athletic Philly hitter who impressed many by hanging right there with Wladimir Klitschko when they tussled in NYC in April.

The rumor solidified when Jennings referenced him versus the Alabaman on his Instagram.

I followed up, reached out to some Jennings people, to check the veracity of the post and am awaiting a touch-back. I also messaged a Wilder envoy to ask the same.

Meanwhile, let’s keep on the train to Rumorville and chat about this puncher/boxer vs. boxer tangle while we chug along…Wilder is better than detractors believe but some jurists are still deliberating, with some thinking he could have – if he did really have detonative fists – take out an Eric Molina and Johann Duhaupus in more crisp fashion. Neither are even B-plus boxers, after all…Jennings got a late start in boxing, made up immense ground, but still needs to make a leap. Skill, some solid traits…but will be getting more ops on big stages and needs to prove he belongs there.

It's a decent fight but how the **** does he manage to avoid the Povetkin fight again? That was WBC's mandatory and if he doesn't fight him he would have to vacate the belt.

No way, too risky.

Povetkin fights in nov and negotiations start at the end of this month. Depends how long the negotiations will be.

Naw all jennings does is nag. Watch his interviews he keeps pricing himself out crying about he went 12 with klitch so he expects 7 figs its on the boxing voice

[Fetta]

good fight! Make it happen

Jennings---->>>Povetkin-----> Klitchko. That would be an insane run that would shut the haters up.

Even if he loses there is no shame to dropping one to those caliber of fighters.

Bryant Jennings good fighter I don't see a 6'2 6'3 HW beating Wilder

[SkillspayBills]

No way he fights Jennings then Povet right after. No way.

It would be a solid fight, but I want the Povetkin fight to be made
