(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Scott Gilfoid: On March 15th, unbeaten American heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (30-0, 30 KO’s) will be looking to notch his 31st consecutive knockout in his 12 round scheduled bout against Malik Scott (36-1-1, 13 KO’s) on Showtime. Deontay, 6’7″, wants to impress the American fans watching him from home in this WBC heavyweight eliminator bout in order to give them a glimpse of what could be a future heavyweight champion of the world.
If Deontay can get past Scott then the next step will be Wilder facing the winner of the Bermane Stiverne vs. Chris Arreola bout for the WBC heavyweight strap.
