Wilder took out Jalyn Anthony with one second left in round one on his first appearance and will be looking to keep his KO run going next month.
“Grateful to announce I will be fighting August 24th in Minneapolis, Minnesota on the undercard of Premier Boxing Champions,” confirmed Wilder, younger brother of current WBC heavyweight ruler Deontay.
“I’ve been on the grind tho, patiently waiting on the next move. Now It’s time. I’m about to pull up and bust a move. Blessings, Alabama stand up!”
There’s already huge buzz surrounding Marsellos due to the exploits of his older sibling as the elder Wilder recently confirmed the 200 pounder carries the same devastating power.
“Just when you thought things couldn’t get any Wilder! My brother Marsellos will have his pro debut in his hometown of Tuscaloosa, Alabama at The River Market,” said ‘The Bronze Bomber’ earlier this year.
“Come support this young man as he starts his own journey of becoming a cruiserweight World Champion.
“P.S. He’s a Wilder so yes he’s blessed with that night night power as well,” he added.
In an interview with WBN back in May, Wilder outlined his ambitions to take it one step at a time and not get carried away with the hype.
“In my position, there’s always going to be a little pressure thrown at me because fans want to see me knock people out like my brother does.
“But I don’t allow pressure to bother me much. I’m kind of use to it now. I’m going to just do me.
“There’s no nerves really, more of excitement to actually live out this moment and be able to be a professional boxer. It’s a vision I saw three years ago and here it is.
“If a life-changing opportunity presents itself you have to take serious attention to the pros and cons of the situation and be smart bout it.
“It’s now about getting more fights and more experience. They are definitely my first steps. I really don’t have a reason to rush my career.”
