American Heavyweight Bryant Jennings Believes Bermane Stiverne Will Retain His WBC World Heavyweight Title Against The Very Questionable Deontay Wilder Undefeated American heavyweight By-By Bryant Jennings, 29, (19-0-0, 10 KOs), said he is leaning in the direction of WBC world heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne, (24-1-1, 21 KOs), retaining his title when he defends against the WBC mandatory challenger Deontay Wilder, (32-0-0, 32 KOs). The World Boxing Council ordered the winner of Stiverne-Wilder to face Jennings, who won a WBC final eliminator last month with a twelve round split decision over previously undefeated Mike Perez. I think I’m leaning a little more towards Stiverne, for the simple fact that he is the better technical fighter and he does have power as well. Deontay just has a lot of questions, he’s very questionable. I can’t pinpoint nothing really good on him other than power because we haven’t seen anything, Jennings told The Worldwide Sport Of Boxing. I’m just being real careful with my analysis of the fight and I will have to go with what’s better on paper, experience wise and what I’ve seen from each fighter thus far. There is still no date for Stiverne-Wilder. Due to a hand injury suffered by Stiverne, the fight is being targeted for the end of the year. Jennings is planning to stay active but wont do anything stupid to jeopardize his title shot. I’m not looking for an easy fight just to stay active, but as long as it doesn’t tamper with my position in being the mandatory, of course I would want something to stay busy. If it takes away from me still being in that mandatory position, then I’ll have to do what I have to do and be patient and wait, Jennings said. #Boxing #Boxeo #Boks #Boxen #WBC
