Deontay Wilder has been heralded as the new American hope for heavyweight boxing, after a stagnant period following the greats such as Evander Holyfield, Michael Moorer, Riddick Bowe and Mike Tyson.
But apart from a comfortable world title win against Bermane Stiverne, the unbeaten champion has failed to impress with low key defenses over Eric Molina and Johann Duhaupas.
It’s a culmination of these two factors which means fight fans want to see him go toe-to-toe with the best fighter in the division, Wladimir Klitschko.
With a height, reach and power advantage, Wilder has the armory to topple the second-longest-reigning heavyweight champion in the divisions history.
But how he will conquer the domineering jab, and experience of the 11 year reigning champion is anybody’s guess.
