1-Wilder vs Arreola LA Press Conference - June 21_ 2016_Presser_Ryan Hafey _ Premier Boxing Champions5

By Allan Fox: WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (36-0, 35 KOs) is going into his title defense next month against #9 WBC Chris Arreola (36-4-1, 31 KOs) as a heavy favorite when the two of them battle it out on July 16 at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama. Arreola has a punchers chance of winning the fight if he can land something big. Wilder’s chin is a serious question mark.

It’s quite possible that Wilder won’t be able to handle Arreola’s punching power in this fight. The only question is will Arreola be able to stick around long enough for him to land his bombs?

By Patrick McHugh: WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (36-0, 35 KOs) was quick to call out IBF champion Anthony Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs) last Saturday night moments after he’d registered his 17th consecutive knockout in stopping American challenger Dominic Breazeale (17-1, 15 KOs) in the 7th round at the O2 Arena in London, England. Wilder says he wants Joshua to come to the U.S to fight him, and he doesn’t want to wait any longer for that fight to happen. Wilder wants the fight now. Joshua’s response to that was to suggest that Wilder needs to focus on his next title defense against Chris Arreola on July 16.

“Since the winter time you planned on Tyson Fury. Hey, it’s time to make your American debut Anthony Joshua. Eddie Hearn said sooner than later so let’s make sooner “NOW”!!!!!” said Wilder on his Twitter.

Arreola: Deontay Wilder is no Vitali Klitschko

1-Wilder vs Arreola LA Press Conference - June 21_ 2016_Presser_Ryan Hafey _ Premier Boxing Champions5

By Dan Ambrose: Former two-time world title challenger Chris Arreola (36-4-1, 31 KOs) will be getting his third title shot next month when he fights WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (36-0, 35 KOs) in his own hometown at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham, Alabama. Arreola sees the 6’7” Wilder as a good fighter, but not someone in the same class as former WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko.

Arreola was stopped in the 10th round by Vitali seven years ago in 2009 in a one-sided fight. Arreola says Vitali was the smartest fighter he’s ever faced before in his career. Arreola plans on pressuring Wilder and getting inside his punching range so that he can’t get maximum power on his shots like he’s accustomed to.

Wilder: Joshua vs. Breazeale is 50-50 fight

By Scott Gilfoid: Well, it doesn’t look like WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder sees this Saturday’s fight between IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and challenger Dominic Breazeale as a mismatch like many boxing fans and writers do. Joshua is a heavy favorite to defeat the 6’7” Breazeale. However, Deontay sees the contest as a 50-50 fight, because he thinks Breazeale is going to come into the match looking to make a name for himself.

This is Breazeale’s big chance to make a fortune becoming set for life financially if he can beat Joshua, because a win over the British fighter will set up a big money rematch between them. Breazeale could make millions in a rematch.

By Jeff Aranow: WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder says he’s ready to fight a unification match against IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua or IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Tyson Fury if they win their next fights and if they’re interested in fighting him. Wilder says he’s wants to fight either of those guys.

Whether a unification fight takes place between one of those to British champions will depend on them winning, and Wilder winning his next fight against Chris Arreola on July 16. Of course, it also will depend on Joshua or Fury’s promoters being open to letting them fight Wilder in a risky unification match.

Joshua’s promoter Eddie Hearn wants to match him against Fury in November. Fury says he would like to fight Joshua or Wilder. Fury would likely take the bigger money fight against Joshua, however.
