Deontay Wilder meets former WBO Champion Liakhovich

Unbeaten 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Deontay Wilder meets his first real live opponent on August 9th in the form of Sergei Liakhovich. Sergei beat Lamon Brewster to snare the WBO title in 2006 and lost his first defence to Shannon Briggs in the same year.  Wilder has chosen this Opponent wisely, although a decent name Sergei has since lost 4 of his last 6. Wilder was muted to have been matched with Derrick Chisora in London earlier this month but due to legal reasons was unable to fulfil the obligation after an alleged attack on a female in Las Vegas. Wilder is dangerous with strength and power but is very raw in his approach and has much to learn to compete with more seasoned pro's. Sergei last boxed in March of 2012 losing to Bryant Jennings via 9th round retirement in Brooklyn. Wilder demolished Audley Harrison inside a round in Sheffield England in March. Wilder v Liakhovich is scheduled for an unannounced site in Alabama.
