Wilder v Arreola finalised, 16th July, Birmingham Al.

Finally Deontay Wilder has released details of his next defence, following the cancellation of his huge fight with Alexander Povetkin, Wilders next bout will be against Chris Arreola on the 16th of July at the Legacy Arena in Birmingham Alabama..  It's the announcement that we anticipated in an earlier report yet it's still a disappointing one in the circumstances..  Povetkin did fail his initial drug test prior to the May date yet reports have emerged that conclude that the Russians B sample along with several others were clean, circulating rumours that Povetkin would have been clean on the day of the scheduled fight..  It's a surprise choice of opponent, Arreola himself having a history of substance abuse, even in his last bout against Travis Kauffman he failed a test for Marijuana, resulting in his victory being overturned to a no contest..   More news regarding the outcome of A rescheduled Povetkin fight should emerge in the coming weeks..
