Via Brian Webber: Just minutes ago, the WBC officially ordered #1 Deontay Wilder to face #2 Andy Ruiz Jr in a final elimination bout to decide the mandatory challenger to heavyweight champion Tyson ‘Gypsy King’. Fury for his belt with the organization.
As for Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs), the World Boxing Council’s decision orders him to face dangerous former unified champion Ruiz Jr (35-2, 22 KOs) perhaps. not the music to his ears. to get a straight hit on IBF/WBA/WBO champion Oleksandr Usyk without going through ‘Terminator’.
Given the way Ruiz, 33, beat Luis ‘King Kong’ Ortiz last September, it’s likely he will be too much for ‘The Bronze Bomber’ Wilder to deal with.
If Wilder is lucky, WBC champion Fury will throw him a bone by giving him a title in a voluntary defense without the fragile-chined Alabama native having to earn it the hard way. by dealing with Ruiz, who looks even better than the June 2019 version that destroyed Anthony Joshua in seven rounds in New York.
Wilder is talking about wanting to fight for another three years, but if he faces Ruiz for the next WBC final elimination, his retirement could be sped up.

If Wilder misses one of the right bombs he likes to throw, Ruiz is sure to take advantage of the situation by countering him with a left hook.
For his part, Ruiz is hoping to get a three-part fight with former two-time heavyweight champion Joshua, but the British boxer won’t go that route. Joshua plans to take a few confidence-boosting drugs to get his career back on track before he faces a dangerous opponent like Andy Ruiz.
Wilder will have to sit on his bike for the duration of the match against Ruiz, as he did in his recent match against Robert Helenius on October 15. If Wilder is stopped for any length of time, Ruiz will be disqualified. scratches and can damage his mission.
In Wilder’s first knockout win over 38-year-old Helenius, he cycled the whole lap, throwing in just four punches to qualify for the knockout.
It would be interesting if Wilder was forced to move around the ring for eight or nine rounds as that could lead to him being farted, losing power, and getting caught by something big by Helenius.
