By Jim Dower: Dominic Breazeale (19-1, 17 KOs) is the frontrunner to face WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) in his next title defense, according to Dan Rafael. The 32-year-old Breazeale has been talked about for a while now as the next opponent for Wilder, but thus far the fight still hasn’t been put together.
By Scott Gilfoid: Dominic Breazeale (19-1, 17 KOs) is hoping to put a wrench in the plans for a big money unification fight between WBC heavyweight champion Deontay ‘Bronze Bomber’ Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) and IBF/WBA/WBO champion Anthony Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs). Breazeale, #2 WBC, figures to be Wilder’s next opponent now that Joshua has signed to defend against his World Boxing Association mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin (34-1, 24 KOs) on September 22 at Wembley Stadium in London, England.
By Jeff Aranow: Former heavyweight world title challenger Dominic Breazeale (19-1, 17 KOs) has been looking at WBC champion Deontay Wilder’s fights, and he thinks it’ll be an easier job for him to beat him than it was in his last two fights against Eric Molina and Izuagbe Ugonoh. From watching Wilder’s fight against Gerald Washington last year in 2017, Breazeale says he understood that he can beat him.
By Scott Gilfoid: Eddie Hearn is convinced that WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder will be defending his title against #2 WBC Dominic Breazeale in his next fight in June or July rather than facing IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs).
By Allan Fox: Deontay Wilder is rumored to be facing #2 WBC Dominic Breazeale for his next title defense of his WBC heavyweight belt instead of #1 WBC Dillian Whyte. Breazeale is a fight that will attract a lot more interest in the U.S than the little-known Whyte, who has his entire career in the UK.
