Any rumors on who Wilder will fight?

[Sparked_26]

Lucas Browne is chasing Ruslan Chagaev for a shot at Chag's "regular" or "super unleaded WBA championship belt."

I follow him on twitter and he's been in beast mode for the last 3 months preparing for the fight. Having said that, maybe Browne should throw his hat in the ring

Forgot about that.

I always think Chagaev is retired. He has been around forever and I have only ever watched him fight Matt Skelton. Someone at the WBA must be nailing him.

You can probably figure it out. Probably Stiverne or Szpilka

WBC:


1. Alexander Povetkin (Russia) SILVER no
2 .- Anthony Joshua (GB) INTL/COMM no
3 .- Vyacheslav Glazkov (Ukraine) no
4 .- Bermane Stiverne (Haiti/Canada) possible
5 .- Kubrat Pulev (Bulgaria) booked
6 .- Lucas Browne (Australia) possible
7 .- Carlos Takam (Cameroon) possible
8 .- Artur Szpilka (Poland) possible
9 .- Erkan Teper (Germany) EBU no
10 .- Mariusz Wach (Poland) no

No to the rest


11 .- Joseph Parker (New Zealand) OPBF / EPBC
12 .- Andy Ruiz (Mexico) NABF
13 .- Chris Arreola (US)
14 .- Tomasz Adamek (Poland)
15 .- Kyotaro Fujimoto (Japan)

16 .- Malik Scott (US)
17 .- Steve Cunningham (US)
18 .- Dillian Whyte (Jamaica/GB) INTL Silver
19 .- Dereck Chisora (GB)
20 .- Billy Wright (US)

I was thinking Spilzka... but don't understand why they would offer a fight to Adamek, who's way at the bottom. Unless they're going from the bottom and working their way up.... I have a sickening feeling in my stomach they might offer it to Fujimoto.

Don't know of Takam made it out of his fight w/o a scratch or if he'd take it on a short-ish turnaround.

Unfortunate that they didn't have a back up plan so close to the date, but they should really get Spilzka since his fight was cancelled, he's on the list, fought on TV a few times and is levels above Fujimoto who's somehow on the list.

Also they'll probably announce it today since they're talking about Wilder on Showtime now

[Hougigo]

He said he heard Szpilka more than Manour, Mansour who isn't even plausible since he's not ranked in the top 15

So expect Szpilka or Fujimoto...should be Szpilka

[Pain~Lucy]

its was TBA after all, with 2-3 weeks of training

[The Hammer]

There was talk about Jennings. No idea what happened there or if it's still an option.

Jennings will fight Ortiz on HBO Dec 19.

Press conference today to announce @BronzeBomber's next opponent. I'm told it will be Artur Szpilka. #boxing

I think Szpilka is a decent enough opponent for Wilder. Szpilka is a cagey, fast handed southpaw who's got a tricky style.

Szpilka has a good chance of knocking bum squad out imo.

I think Szpilka is a decent enough opponent for Wilder. Szpilka is a cagey, fast handed southpaw who's got a tricky style.

I rate him over Espinoza Jnr and Dunlap... I think he's guaranteed to get KD'd and most likely KO'd, but I rate him higher than the previous 2
