Wilder is fighting Artur Szpilka on January 16, 2016. Dimitrenko would be a step down from Szpilka, IMO.
Yeah. Since losing to Pulev in 2012, the quality of Dimitrenko's opponents have been absolutely shocking. I guess that's why Haymon and Wilder have him lined up. Anybody with a modicum of common sense knows Wilder is milking the WBC title until Povetkin is made his mandatory. Whereupon Wilder vacates, rather than face a live opponent whi has more than a good chance of clipping him.
