Deontay Wilder, the former WBC world heavyweight champ, is in the ring of negotiations with Andy Ruiz. While the World Boxing Council is pushing for an agreement, the fight's winner gets a shot at Tyson Fury's title.
"We're on the brink of making it happen. We've put an offer on the table that's hard for Andy to ignore.
He's got to look in the mirror, weigh his options, and step up to the plate. Like I've been saying, if he doesn't bite, he'll just gather dust on the sidelines and miss out big time," Wilder stated.
In a recent interview, Wilder hinted that his return to the ring is slated for early 2024, even dropping a hint about the month.
