By Gav Duthie: This site possibly more than any other has done much to promote the powerful but as yet untested Deontay Wilder 31-0 (31). We should find out by the end of the year if he is worth all the hype. Wilder’s title challenge against Haiti’s Bermaine Stiverne 24-1-1 (21) has been delayed due to a pinched nerve in Stiverne’s hand which means it is likely to take place in November/December 2014.
Use this time wisely Deontay. This article attempts to deliver a balanced view of what we’ve seen so far of the giant American and what he should be doing between now and his fight with Stiverne.
By Scott Gilfoid: British heavyweight David Price is picking WBC heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne (24-1-1, 21 KO’s) to beat mandatory challenger Deontay Wilder (31-0, 31 KO’s) when/if they face each other in 2014. Price doesn’t say exactly why he’s picking Stiverne to defeat the 6’7” Deontay. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Deontay Wilder (31-0, 31 KO’s) is getting nearer to a world title shot against WBC heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne (24-1-1, 21 KOs) and he expects to take his title when the two of them meet later this year. Stiverne won the WBC title last May with a 6th round stoppage victory over Chris Arreola, and since then he’s been enjoying his title as the new WBC heavyweight champion. 
By Scott Gilfoid: By now WBC heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne (24-1-1, 21 KO’s) has received the bad news that WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman says that Stiverne won’t be able to fight a unification match against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko next, and instead he’ll be required to face his mandatory challenger Deontay Wilder (31-0, 31 KO’s) next, unless they can come to agreement with Deontay to get him to step aside. 
By Bradley Dee: In a statement by WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman, Bermane Stiverne must fight his mandatory challenger next, who happens to be Deontay Wilder. Contrary to this statement, Don King released last week that Bermane has an optional defense available to him.
By Scott Gilfoid: British fighter David Haye attended last night’s fight between Bermane Stiverne (24-1-1, 21 KO’s) and Chris Arreola (36-4, 31 KO’s) for the vacant WBC heavyweight title at the USC Galen Center, in Los Angeles, California, USA, and Haye says he didn’t see anything in Stiverne’s performance that would suggest that he can beat the WBC mandatory challenger Deontay Wilder (31-0, 31 KO’s) when it comes time for Stiverne to defend against him. 
By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten heavyweight Deontay Wilder (30-0, 30 KO’s) entered the 30 knockout club last night with his blasting out of game Nicolai Firtha (21-11-1, 8 KO’s) in four rounds at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. It was a very impressive performance from the 6’7″ Deontay with him knocked Firtha down three times with some beautiful shots to the head. The punches that Firtha got up from would have surely knocked out a lesser heavyweight.
