Who should Deontay face next?

PS i thought wilder was a lot cleaner in this fight, although there wasn't much to see.. he had a jab and seemed to have tighter throws.. but it was so short that it really didn't show anything other than the continuation of his intense power

I think an interesting fight would be with Dimitrenko,he's very durable,can box a bit and has a good chin.

Dimitrenko who was floored by the monster puncher that is Eddie Chambers? Who was hurt by a Pulev jab? Bit generous to say he has a good chin.
Don't see them putting him anywhere near Arreola though I'd like to see it. He definitely needs to be put in with somebody more durable for a start though.

Wilder definitely needs to step it up though.
Haye had unified the cruiser weight division and won the WBA Heavyweight Crown in less fights.

Oh he definitely needs to step it up, he's had 30 fights against tomato cans.
Chisora would be a good start and I think is at least good enough to put him under pressure at times, next year he should definitely be stepping up and fighting other top 10 ranked fighters.
Even Fury would be an interesting opponent for him early next year after he loses to Haye. After that, Wilder can look at Arreola, Povetkin etc... and work towards a title shot in 5 or 6 fights time.

these days its the best way to bring attention to yourself, fight 25-30 overmatched opponents and most fairweather fans just look at that 0 on the record and think "wow look how many wins he has and he hasent lost" whilst most people who know boxing will not give him credit uintil he fights credable opposition

Looks like the Solis fight is on the cards.

Solis would definitely be a decent option, if Wilder takes it

Rematch with Audley.

Apparently it's the winner of the mitchell/arreola fight. Haye wants him as a sparring partner also
