He tore a bicep against Arreola and is out until next spring. Hence why Povetkin and Stiverne are fighting for the interim belt.
Deontay's resting up after a long gruelling year of heavyweight boxing. Deontay thanks the fans for the get well cards, and bowls of fruit sent to his house. Be prepared for a exciting 2017, I heard Andy Ruiz Jr will be the next challenger to take on the bronze bomber. Deontay wants to keep his Mexican American fanbase happy.
He should offer Wlad a fight. He should be back in January. Matches up now. He wants to face the best as soon as he returns and Wlad hasn't fought in over a year.
In Alabama somewhere. Last I hear he was cleaning his windows but this of course is pure speculation.
He's no doubt dat at home thinking real hard about how he can sell a match against Oliver McCall to the public.
man wilder gets alot of hate. the arreola considering the circumstances was still mediocre fight and thats not what we want. but when he comes back expect another similar fight hes been doing sense its comin off a long lay off and coming off an injury prolly vs a wawrzyk or helenius . maybe if were lucky he will jump right into a j miller or pulev fight . but wat we really want is wilder vs ortiz,fury, or joshua and one or more of these match ups will happen in wilder next fight after his tune up from his layoff / injury. price and parker mite be lingering around. i can see wilder fight tony thompson or shannon briggs in his return fight im kinda joking but not really
Yeah, that arm was in bad shape. Not only did he tear his bicep, which is a pretty nasty injury by itself, he also had some kind of wound on his right arm... prior to breaking his hand *again* during the fight. Deontay Wilder got hit with a substantial setback and needs to fully recover & rehab those injuries properly.
