Who next for Deontay Wilder?

deontay32by Joe Walker: After Saturday’s 1st round stoppage win over Audley Harrison, Deontay “Bronze Bomber” Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) now ranked 9th by WBA called out Tyson fury with a rhyme and calling him “Tyson feary.” He has since expressed his desire to fight in the UK again in the future. I hope so. He seems like a very nice person and adds something new to the heavyweight division.

The heavyweight division has been lacking characters, and Deontay adds that and so does Tyson Fury and David Haye.

Looking at it realistically, could the “Bronze Bomber” be fighting a British fighter next or in the near future? Although a fight between Fury and Wilder is one that a lot of people would like to see, in my personal opinion I can’t see it happening.

Tyson Fury dismissive of possible Deontay Wilder match-up

fury3333By Daniel Mcglinchey: Undefeated heavyweight giant Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s) has dismissed the possibility of stepping in the ring with untested American Deontay “Bronze Bomber” Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) anytime soon.

Tyson Fury is currently in talks with unbeaten European Heavyweight title holder Kubrat Pulev (17-0, 9 KO’s) for a final eliminator to earn a shot at Wladimir Klitschko for the IBF strap.

Fury said on his social medial site: “[Deontay] has a long way to go boy. Windmilling like a b**** and knocking out an old man. Great job. Join the cue.”

Fury’s promoter turned down Deontay Wilder fight, says Golden Boy Promotions

wilder99By Scott Gilfoid: Golden Boy Promotions made a stab at trying to line up a fight between unbeaten heavyweight talent Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) and undefeated British/Irish heavyweight Tyson Fury (21-0, 15 KO’s), but Golden Boy struck out after Fury’s promoter said he had other options for the 6’7” Fury.

Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer said to ESPN “[Mick] Hennessy was saying that they [Fury] have other options and this and that and other excuses. They were not all that keen on it. It’s too bad.”

Yes, it is too bad. What a pity. A fight between Fury and the 6’7” Wilder would easily be the biggest fight in Fury’s career and it would be the first time he faced an opponent that could look him dead in the eye in the ring instead of staring up at him three to five inches.

Deontay Wilder: I’ll come back to the UK when Fury or David Price agree to fight me

wilder7By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten heavyweight Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) liked his visit to the UK last Saturday night in destroying British heavyweight Audley Harrison by a 1st round TKO in Sheffield, UK. Deontay liked the local Brits and he says he wants to come back to the UK when/if Tyson Fury and or David Price agree to fight him in the future.

Deontay’s promoter Richard Schaefer of Golden Boy Promotions has already made the offer to Fury and Price to fight Deontay last Saturday night at the post-fight press conference, but there’s been a strange quiet from the two tall Brits ever since.

A Look Back On Last Weekend’s Boxing

03(Photo credit: Naoki Fakuda) By Shane Newsome: After a highly entertaining week of boxing from a number of counties including three world title fights and a number of our favorite boxers in action, its easy to get lost in the hype and lose track of what is really happening out there so here is your impartial look back on Saturday 27th April 2013 in the world of boxing.

And we start our journey in Sheffield, Yorkshire, UK and the main event Amir Khan (28-3) vs Julio Diaz (40-8-1) here was another night that Bolton’s Amir Khan should have made easy work of a lesser opponent though instead we had ourselves yet another night of hearts beating, on the edge of our seats watching a technically sound offensive boxer holding on for dear life after being caught time and time again through defensive frailties.

Wilder vs. Harrison: The COMMENTS

deontay7By Tony Crooks: First of all, I am English and I am proud of my heritage and no comment will ever take that away from me, full stop. Despite this, boxing is about boxing and boxers are about boxers. If a boxer is good and he comes from Outer Mongolia or the North Pole, so what, too much emphasis is put on where a pugilist is born. Whether he is white, black, yellow or orange it does not matter to me, all that interests me is the skills that they possess.

Heavyweight Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) beat Audley Harrison at the Motorpoint Arena in Sheffield, UK and that was what was expected of him. I don’t care what anyone says, Wilder proved absolutely nothing. If he was British, I would say the same thing. What I am unable to understand are the keyboard cowards that make comments.

Why Deontay Wilder is a long way from the top

wilder#1By Sean David: Heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) has an impressive record. However, it only looks impressive on paper. At the moment the record is only as strong as that paper. He may be capable of contending for titles at the top level, but he is a long way from hanging and banging with the big boys.

Deontay’s record is high in numbers but low in quality. After watching his interviews, he is quite a likeable character and the boxing always has room for characters. If all it took to be in the elite was some microphone skills then yes he would be in the top ten, but talk is cheap.

Tyson Fury talks Wilder and Khan-Diaz

deontay11By Scott Gilfoid Heavyweight Tyson Fury says if the unbeaten American heavyweight Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) wants to fight him then he’s going to have go get in line behind the other heavyweight fights he’s got planned.

Fury saw Amir Khan’s fight with Julio Diaz last night, and he came away thinking that Diaz should have been given the decision. I agree with Fury in that. Diaz did more than enough to win a close decision given the knockdown and the fact that he won three out of the last four rounds.

Schaefer: We want Deontay to fight David Price or Tyson Fury

wilder7By Scott Gilfoid: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer says he’d like to set up a fight between his fighter unbeaten heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (28-0, 28 KO’s) and the top British heavyweights David Price or Tyson Fury if they’re willing to fight him.

Schaefer doesn’t think they are, but he’s very, very interested in making that fight if either of them gets the courage to accept the fight with the 6’7” knockout artist Wilder.

Deontay stopped one of Britain’s best heavyweights in Audley Harrison in the 1st round last night in Sheffield. It’s too bad Britain’s two biggest heavyweights won’t step up to the plate to fight Deontay because it kind of looks bad that they don’t want to test themselves against him.

Audley Harrison was fighting two men in the ring

audley99By Mark Calooke: No one expected Audley Harrison to win tonight. The fight was a mismatch and a farce. But Audley didn’t deserve the injustice he received. Harrison should have retired long ago and nothing has changed there. fans know what to expect from Harrison and it is nothing good.

After just one minute of the first round, Wilder landed a cracking right hand. Harrison was hurt but was smart enough to take a knee. Wilder then lunged in with several wild and sloppy hooks. It wasn’t his fault because he was over excited. But nowhere in boxing does it say that it is legal to hit someone whilst they are on the floor. The ref saw Harrison take a knee and should have given him a standing 8 count. Instead he let Wilder hit Harrison several times.
