Wilder’s Upcoming Problem
The previous WBC heavyweight champion Wilder (43-3 might want to get by means of his struggle with Zhang (26-2, 21 KOs) unhurt. His Excellency Turki Alalshikh needs the Wilder vs. Anderson struggle for the Terence Crawford vs. Israil Madrimov card on August third on the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles.

His Excellency Turki Alalshikh stated this on social media about Jared Anderson probably combating Deontay Wilder on August third:
“Jared Anderson is with us now on August third Riyadh Season card at LA in opposition to the “Bronze Bomber” Deontay Wilder – if he’s prepared by then to struggle after 1st of June’s struggle in opposition to Zhilei Zhang. Comfortable to collaborate with High Rank once more – Riyadh Season card third of August in LA, might be one for the historical past!”
If the Wilder-Anderson struggle will get made, it’ll be an enormous step up in school for the 24-year-old Jared (17-0, 15 KOs) from the opposition he’s been going through. High Rank might be throwing Anderson to the wolves if the older search & destroy model of Deontay reveals up for that struggle.
Anderson was shaken up a few occasions in his struggle in opposition to Charles Martin final yr, and he doesn’t have the best chin. In Jared’s latest struggle in opposition to Ryad Merhy, he fought like he was afraid to get clipped.
