Deontay Wilder will announce something big!

[keith_head]

My guess hes signed up to fight the winner of Parker/Hughie. That fight is only 2.5 weeks away.

Hughie Fury is still not in the country, btw. I don't know whether the fight goes ahead at this point.

If that fight goes ahead then waiting for the winner of that fight is a silly idea. Wilder needs to stay active.. Winner of Parker/Fury won't fight again till around September maybe even later if injuries occur.

Anyway if Fury wins he wins there's no way he goes straight into a dangerous fight with Wilder.. He'll have a homecoming fight.

It's got to be someone who is free.. Wilder said he's already in shape and training so it means he will be fighting soon.

Rumours are that Hughie Fury's team are trying to get him out of the Parker fight, so maybe Wilder is the replacement?

I can't see that happening.. Why pull out of a easier world title fight to fight a tougher opponent.

I'm still expecting it to be Stiverne until I have reason to believe otherwise

No, I mean Hughie may pull out and they replace him with Wilder, so Wilder fights Parker.

Ahh ok. I've not heard anything about the fight being cancelled. It is worrying they haven't entered NZ.

But fighters often enter on fight week. Dillian Whyte is announcing his opponent today but it looks like Jennings.. so if it's not Whyte.. Not many other fighters who are free can be classed as a BIG announcement. Ortiz?

Doesnt ortiz fight in the uk now?

Nah that was just for a couple of fights. He signed with Uncle Al a week or so back.

... He did...


WBA has already ordered the winner of the April 29th bout between IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and former champion Wladimir Klitschko to face Ortiz. The WBA previously announced that their vacant title would be on the line for both men after Tyson Fury dropped the belt.

He's probably leaving PBC. Nobody becomes huge at PBC. It will make you irrelevant and fight once a year.

[alexguiness]

He will face 'The White Rhino' Dave Allen as his next opponent in a PPV record breaking mega fight?
