Deontay "Bronze Bomber" Wild vs Jared "Big Baby" Anderson? No one knows if this is true, but if the game is staged, it is destined to attract the attention of countless people!
This week, deep-pocketed Saudi Arabian contractor Turki Alalshh said via social media that former WBC heavyweight champion Wilder will face off against 24-year-old rising star Anderson on August 5 in Los Angeles, where the two will play a mat match for the Terrence Crawford vs. Israel Madrid Mov.
Alarshkh uploaded a photo with Anderson and wrote: "The talented Anderson will be with us against Wild Wild in the August 3 event, if Wild is ready after the June 1 match with Zhang Zhilei." I've always believed that boxing will be at its peak when you have a young heavyweight up-and-coming talent like Anderson, and I also believe in his talent and bright future. It's great to be working with top fighters again – the Riyadh season in Los Angeles on August 3rd will be history.
The battle between Wild and Anderson is indeed attractive, but what are the chances of it being staged? From the perspective of time, will the game really be played on August 3? You must know that at this time, only more than two months have passed since the battle between Wild and Zhang Zhilei, and if Wild loses to Zhang Zhilei, everything will come to naught, even if Wild beats Zhang Zhilei, unless he wins very easily, what if he is injured? At least Wild needs to recuperate and adjust, so is it reliable to play 3 August? Is Alarshkh a little too hasty?
We all know that with the participation of Alalshkh in the operation, the August 3 match will gather a lot of big-name fighters, if Wilder VS Anderson can join it, it is destined to further attract attention, and then not worry about the PPV ratings, maybe the fans who were still hesitant have completely decided to open their money bags.
The hustle and bustle of the potential Wilder vs Anderson clash is not a day or two, far from saying that Anderson called out Wilder's name after defeating former WBA welterweight champion Riyad Messi this month, hoping that the two sides can compete in 2024.
Although many fans and media believe that the likelihood of Wilder and Anderson meeting on August 3 is low, even if Alalshh "guaries", considering the time and the question of whether Wilder can beat Zhang Zhilei, the duel between the two is still very difficult. Of course, it is not ruled out that Wilder will still insist on fighting Anderson after losing to Zhang Zhilei, and some fans believe that if Wilder defeats Zhang Zhilei, his best choice should be against Anthony Joshua, not the high-risk, low-reward Anderson, but with the addition of the "not bad money" Alalshhe, maybe he will provide Wilder with a generous remuneration to make the opponent determined to face Anderson.
There are also rumors that Alarshkh will put the battle of Wilder vs Anderson and the battle of Andy Ruiz Jr. vs Jarrell Miller together, probably hoping that the winner of these two matches will compete, because Alalshikh has previously said that he is willing to try to promote the battle of Wild vs Ruiz, who knows!
