BoxingScene.com has been advised the undefeated heavyweight banger Deontay Wilder (29-0, 29KOs) has found an opponent for his fourth fight of the year, as he faces Nicolai Firtha (21-10-1, 8KOs) on October 26th in a Showtime televised fight from the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City.
Firtha has been stopped a number of times, including a fifth round TKO defeat to Tyson Fury in September 2011 (although Firtha seriously rocked Fury in the third). But, he also went the distance with Alexander Povetkin, Johnathon Banks and several others.
None of Wilder's opponents in 2013 have lasted more than two rounds and most will view it as a miracle if Firtha makes it to the final bell.
The main event will feature Bernard Hopkins defending his IBF light heavyweight belt against mandatory challenger Karo Murat, and Peter Quillin will be featured as he defends his WBO middleweight crown against Gabe Rosado.
