According to ESPN‘s Dan Rafael, Deontay Wilder–who is coming off of a successful title defense against Eric Molina on June 13–will return to the ring on September 26 to face a second voluntary challenger.
Unlike his previous few fights which were aired on Showtime, Wilder is set to headline a Premier Boxing Champions card on NBC for his next bout–potentially against Chris Arreola.
Arreola would need to defeat Fred Kassi on July 18 to be in the running to face Wilder, but if he does beat Kassi and can get himself motivated and into decent shape, he’ll pose an interesting matchup against Wilder who was wobbled by the overachieving Molina.
We’ll have more information regarding the September 26 PBC card as it breaks.
