But will it happen?

Although, having stopped Gerard Washington in five rounds in Birmingham Alabama on Saturday evening, Deontay Wilder talked post-fight about unifying the heavyweight division, starting with a fight against the WBO world heavyweight title holder, the WBC have a different path plotted out for their champion.

According to reports coming in from across the pond, the WBC want the unbeaten heavyweight champion to take on, in a re-match, the only fighter Wilder has not stopped in his thirty-eight professional fights, Bermane Stiverne.

Stiverne is ranked as the #1 WBC challenger and is the only person who troubled Wilder.

However, there may be a reluctance to accept the bout as Stiverne has achieved his #1 ranking only boxing once since he was beaten by Wilder.

With Joseph Parker having sat ringside to watch Wilder, after a slow start, demolish Washington, we may find that money talks when it comes to who gets in the ring next with the Bronze Bomber.

Let?s wait and see shall we!
