Deontay Wilder vs Andy Ruiz Almost reached an agreement but clash date causes problems



According to reports, Deontay Wilder could face Andy Ruiz Jr next, but not in the expected time frame.

The WBC has officially ordered a match between the pair – their number one and number two contenders respectively – in November 2022. The winner will be the first in line to fight for the title. Tyson Fury.

Since then, however, Wilder’s side has hinted they are waiting for a ‘bigger’ fight and negotiations have clearly not progressed very far.

Ruiz, although much more sensitive than the other side, is now also said to have been ordered to face Filip Hrgovic by another sanctioning body – the IBF.

GAME‘ Mike Coppinger says he’s still looking forward to the match despite recent developments and that PBC is currently in the process of choosing a date and venue.

It’s complicated by another box office event on their calendar – Errol Spence Jr vs Keith Thurman.
