As the search ends for an opponent to face Deontay Wilder, the 2016 boxing schedule finally has its first notable fight.

Terms were reached Tuesday evening for Wilder to make the third defense of his World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight title versus Artur Szpilka. Word of the two sides reaching an agreement came mere hours after BoxingScene.com learned that Szpilka had reemerged as front runner to land the fight, which takes place January 16th at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

2 fights ago, you fought an Eric Molina that was ranked 45th in the world. Shannon Briggs is ranked 47th in the world. We've got a new duck. Duckontay Wilder.

Nice fight as a replacement. Szpilka comes to fight and he has legit power. Should be exciting.

[Weltschmerz]

At last, Wilder will be making a decent defense.

I don't mind the fight, could've ended up worse.

I expect Szpilka to definitely get knocked down and out, but i'm fine with him as an opponent

The people's champ is coming for you, Wilder.

[Slowhand]

Already the Klitschko reign is starting to look like another golden era.
