No opponent definitely yet confirmed, with the most likely candidate being former world contender, Chris Arreola.
Wilder, who was at the ringside of Danny García vs. Paulie Malignaggi last Saturday night, commented:
“I don’t fear anyone! When I became WBC world champion I promised to be an active. I don’t want to fight only for money. I want to fight against those who are willing to take my belt from me, as I want real challenges. The only thing I can do is to keep training.
“The official contender is Alexander Povetkin and this fight is already in negotiation. I don’t believe he will be my next opponent, but I am willing to have that fight soon. That fight has to happen.”
