Wilder Likely Fighting After the New Year
Fans of the heavyweight division are always curious about what’s next for Deontay Wilder. The Alabaman has wins over Eric Molina and Johann Duhaupus in his last two and both were fun to watch fights. But fans are craving a “name” test for the Bronze Bomber, who holds the WBC heavyweight crown.
Like, say, Alex Povetkin.
I asked Jay Deas, who co-trains and co-manages TBB, what might be next.
“We should know within two weeks,” said Deas. “He will probably fight again after the new year.”
And could Povetkin be his next? “Povetkin fights in November (Nov. 4, versus Mariusz Wach) so we will see after that. Is he next, I’m not sure.”
Povetkin is first in line, as holder of the WBC silver title, at Wilder. So if he beats Wach, drums will be beaten for that Wilder-Povetkin scrap to be put together.
