The deal is expected to be finalized and the fight to be announced within the next few days.
The 6’5” Duhaupas, 34, is a talented heavyweight who comes from France, and who has excellent boxing skills. Duhaupas has a good jab, and is very good at moving around the ring. Duhaupas will give Wilder some good rounds to get him ready for his title defense in early 2016 against his No.1 WBC challenger Alexander Povetkin.

By Scott Gilfoid: WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (34-0, 33 KOs) could be facing the capable 6’5” Andrzej Wawrzyk (30-1, 16 KOs) in his next voluntary title defense on September 26th on Premier Boxing Champions on NBC, according to Dan Rafael. Wawrzyk, 27, is an experienced heavyweight who has previously fought the likes of Alexander Povetkin, Fran Botha and Denis Bakhtov. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Trainer Peter Fury says that his fighter Hughie Fury (16-0, 8 KOs) will agree to face unbeaten WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (34-0 33 KOs) if he’ll let young Hughie get a full 8 weeks of training. Apparently, the 7 ½ weeks that Hughie would be getting if he agreed to the fight isn’t good enough. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten heavyweight prospect Hughie Fury (16-0, 8 Kos), the cousin of undefeated #1 WBO Tyson Fury, has been offered a world title shot against WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (34-0, 33 KOs), says his father/trainer Peter Fury. He says Hughie was offered the fight with 4 weeks’ notice. Peter doesn’t say whether or not they’ll take the fight, but given that he didn’t say anything about that it tells you that he’s not going to agree to let the 20-year-old Hughie take the fight. 
By Scott Gilfoid: If IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko wants to try and capture the final piece of the puzzle in looking to grab Deontay Wilder’s WBC heavyweight title, then he’s going to need to come to America in 2016 to try and win the belt, because the talented 6’7” Deontay doesn’t plan on going outside of the U.S to defend his WBC title if that’s what the 39-year-old Wladimir has in mind.
