    Comments Thread For: Charles Martin's Options: Arreola, Breazeale and Szpilka

    Chris Arreola, Dominic Breazeale and Artur Szpilka are the three opponents being seriously considered for IBF heavyweight champion Charles Martin's first title defense.

    Martin is expected to face one of those three foes sometime late in April, according to a source close to the situation. The date, site and network have not yet been determined.

    Arreola finally has a real shot at a HW belt after all these years. War Arreola!

        As long as Wilder isn't the option, I'm good.

          Hopefully, it'll be Szpilka.

            Three solid opponents. Would be cool if Martin shocked everyone and fought Parker or Joshua, but that might be asking a lot of a first defense.

              Dude, you're cruel.

              Id love to see Martin-Arreola. Chris doesn't deserve it, but I'm selfish.

                Can definitely see it being Arreola. What a farce.

                  Thinking the same ven in a KO loss he looked better than the other two recently, and it would be a good business decision considering the crowd he can bring.

                    Why would Szpilka be an option? He just got sparked by Wilder earlier in January. Usually you have a couple 'tuneup' fights before contending for a title again.

                    Anyway, I think Breazeale is the best of the three possible opponents listed and would be the most competitive against the untested Martin.
