Tuscaloosa native Deontay Wilder will defend his WBC title for the first time at Bartow Arena on June 13.
No opponent has been named yet, which seems odd for a title fight taking place in 38 days. But since it is in front of a home crowd, it probably won't be anyone too tough.
Is anyone thinking about going? Championship fights don't happen in Alabama very often, so I may go as it would be my only chance to see one in person. It would depend on ticket prices, but I expect ringside seats won't be $400,000 like the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.
I hope the mods don't mind me posting this here. I know we have a pro sports board but with Wilder being a local guy and this being a dead period for football I thought it might be OK to start this thread.
