DEONTAY WILDER has been challenged to a bridgerweight bust-up with a Brit world champion.
The Bronze Bomber’s future at heavyweight is in limbo following four defeats in his last five outings, the most recent of which was a brutal sixth-round KO at the hands of Zheili Zhang.

Despite his brutal and long reign as WBC king, fight fans have long thought the tall and wiry Wilder would be better suited to fighting at lighter weight.
The recently formed bridgerweight division would be an ideal new home for the American should he try to breathe new life into his career.
And WBC titleholder Lawrence Okolie would happily welcome him to the weight class, telling Betway: “I think it would be a great fight
“And he’ll always have what leaves people late and that’s his punching power and the name – Deontay Wilder.”
Unlike most of Wilder’s opponents, Okolie wants to feel the full force of Wilder’s cannon-like right hand.
He continued: “If I’m boxing Wilder, no matter what I say, I’m going to be a little bit apprehensive and think, ‘Okay let’s see what his power is like’.
“I think it’s a great fight.”
Wilder’s run of form has, understandably, sparked calls for him to hang up his gloves.

The most costly of those losses was last December’s defeat to Joseph Parker, which scuppered a two-fight series with long-time rival Anthony Joshua worth a whopping £100million.
AJ, however, refuses to join the growing list of fighters telling the Alabama slammer to call it a day.

The former two-time unified heavyweight champion said: “Come again if you want, but he’s got his family and there’s a life outside of boxing for him.
“I enjoy fighting in London, I enjoy fighting out here [Saudi Arabia], I enjoy fighting in America.
“It’s a blessing, and it doesn’t last forever.
“That’s why I say it with Wilder if he wants to go again, give it another crack.
“But sooner or later, Father Time will catch up with you – with everyone.”
