Deontray hopeful to fight winners of April 29th heavyweight fight
As reigning WBC heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder says, the heavyweight division is coming alive again. And Wilder, who is itching to get back in the ring, says he wants to keep it that way. Speaking at the WBC convention, Wilder said he wants to fight the winner of the April clash between Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko.
The April 29th fight, set for Wembley, promises to be a huge event – with promoter Eddie Hearn speaking about the possibility of 90,000 tickets shifting – but Wilder against the winner could be even bigger.A monstrous unification showdown, Wilder versus either Joshua or Klitschko would contest three belts. Wilder must make his ring return first – pencilled in for February, opponent TBA – but as he says, his eyes are on the April mega-match.
“If all goes well, I’m going to get the winner of Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko,” Wilder said. “It doesn’t bother me who I fight. Let’s bring it! In my country, in their country. Let’s go.”
Wilder added how he doesn’t plan on staying in the ring too long, that he wants to accomplish his goals and leave the sport, his legacy intact. A win over the April winner would go a long way towards forming Wilder’s legacy. Indeed, many fans would look at the unified WBC, WBA and IBF ruler as the best big man on the planet – be it Wilder, AJ or former ruler Klitschko.
Wilder would be permitted to put his WBC mandatory defence against the winner of this Saturday’s Alexander Povetkin-Bermane Stiverne fight in Russia on ice, as per WBC rules which stipulate that a unification fight supercedes a mandatory – and no fan will complain. Wilder against Povetkin, or Stiverne in a rematch, could come late next year, and a much bigger fight that one would be if Wilder held three belts instead of just one.
As Wilder says, the division is exciting and alive again. Wilder against Joshua, in Las Vegas – talk about big!
Deontray Wilder hoping to enter the ring 2017
DEONTAY WILDER hopes to return to the ring in February after recovering from inuries he sustained during his stoppage win over Chris Arreola earlier this year.
Wilder retained his WBC world heavyweight title against Arreola in July but has not been able to fight since after breaking his hand and tearing a bicep muscle during the contest.Now back in training, the unbeaten American wants to make 2017 a signature year by facing the winner of Anthony Joshua’s April 29 superfight with Wladimir Klitschko.
“If all goes well, I’m going to get the winner of Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko,” he said at the WBC’s 5th annual convention.
“The heavyweight division is coming alive again, and we want to keep it that way.
“It doesn’t bother me who I fight. Let’s bring it. In my country, in their country. Let’s go! I don’t want to be in this sport long. I want to accomplish my goals, and leave my legacy behind.”
Wilder has trodden water since winning the title against Bermane Stiverne in January 2015, though he has consistently spoken about his desire to unify the division.
The winner of Joshua-Klitschko will hold the WBA and IBF titles, while Joseph Parker is the WBO champion after beating Andy Ruiz at the weekend.
If Joshua were to beat Klitschko, a fight with Wilder would be simple to make given their respective ties to American broadcaster Showtime.
Wilder’s next fight could be in the UK, with promoter Frank Warren keen to tempt the WBC champion to Britain and fight on BT Sport, potentially against Hughie Fury, cousin of former division leader Tyson Fury.

Anthony Joshua demolish MONLINA ..
Anthony Joshua Demolishes Molina in Three, Klitschko Next
Manchester Arena, Manchester - In his second defense of the IBF heavyweight title, Anthony Joshua (18-0, 18KOs) had zero trouble with stopping Eric Molina (25-4, 19KOs) in three rounds to retain the belt.
After the fight was over, Joshua's promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport officially announced that his fighter will face former beltholder Wladimir Klitschko, on April 29th at Wembley in London. The vacant WBA and IBO world titles will also be at stake in the contest. Klitschko was sitting ringside in Manchester and afterwards he stepped in the ring, going side by side with Joshua and Hearn to announce the April fight to the live audience.
Klitschko has been out of the ring since November 2015, when he lost an upset decision to Tyson Fury. The rematch never happened after Fury withdrew twice, and then had a mental breakdown and vacated his titles.
Joshua captured the IBF title in April with a blowout of champion Charles Martin. He returned a few months later to make his first defense with a seventh round TKO of previously undefeated Olympian Dominic Breazeale.

Andre Ward set
According to Andre Ward, we fans could have, indeed, would have, seen a super-fight between he and middleweight king Gennady Golovkin this year had Team-GGG been willing to take the 50-50 fight that was offered to them. Speaking with TMZ Sports, Ward, now the unified light-heavyweight champion, said Golovkin was not willing to fight him until 2018, so he made the decision to move up in weight and challenge Sergey Kovalev.
“I think the fight with Golovkin should have happened before the Kovalev fight,” Ward said. “That fight was talked about, our teams had some correspondence, and it just didn’t work out. I’m not here to expose them or throw them under the bus or nothin’ like that. But I will be honest with the fans because there is a lot of confusion out there. They didn’t want the fight. They flipped it and said we were ducking and dodging. If you read the e-mail [of an offer for the fight] it was clear – we gave them a 50-50 split so there wouldn’t be any arguments.”Ward goes on to say how the plan would have been for he and GGG to each box a tune-up – as he and Kovalev did before meeting earlier this month – “then let’s get it on right after.” But Ward says Team-GGG wanted Golovkin to unify the middleweight titles first (he still has the WBO title in his sights) “and then maybe [the fight can be made] in 2018.” Ward says he was in no way interested in waiting that long, “so right after we got off the phone with them I made the decision to move up and fight Kovalev.”
It’s not clear at what weight Ward and Golovkin would have fought pertaining to the deal Team-Ward offered, but a catch-weight would almost certainly have had to have been agreed on. As things stand now, Ward says he doubts the fight will ever happen but that “if he wants to come up and take that kind of challenge, I think it would be a tremendous fight that the fans would want to see.”
It would of course be interesting to get Team-GGG’s response to Ward’s statements, but at the same time we must take Ward at his word. Could we have seen Ward Vs. Golovkin on November 19th instead of Ward Vs. Kovalev? Will we still get to see this Dream Fight in the future?
