Deontay Wilder to face Artur Szpilka on 1/16 at Barclays Center, Brooklyn, NY

1-DEONTAY WILDER-MEDIA WORKOUT-9576By Scott Gilfoid: As I already predicted, WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (35-0, 34 KOs) will be defending his title next month against #8 WBC Artur Szpilka (20-1, 15 KOs) on January 16th at the Barclays Center, in Brooklyn, New York.

The news was just released moments ago. The fight will be televised by Showtime Championship Boxing. It seemed pretty obvious that Wilder was going to be fighting the 26-year-old Szpilka with the way that Wilder and his promoter Lou Dibella got worked up to a full lather about the rumors of the fight taking place.

Deontay Wilder vs. Artur Szpilka possible for January 16th

1-Screen Shot 2015-09-26 at 10.53.09 PMBy Scott Gilfoid: With Vyacheslav Glazkov opting to go in another direction to go after the IBF title, WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (35-0, 34 KOs) could wind up facing #8 WBC Artur Szpilka (20-1, 15 KOs) on January 16th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

You can say that the 26-year-old Szpilka and Glazkov are both about the same in terms of talent, so it’s not a big deal of Wilder ends up facing Szpilka rather than Glazkov. I see Szpilka as having the better punching power than Glazkov, but not the same chin.
