To Jim Calfa: Michael Hunter is leaning toward Andy Ruiz Jr. defeating Deontay Wilder.

Wilder vs. Lewis Jr. is yet to be signed, but it will be in the summer.

With WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury busy battling Oleksandr Usyk, Wilder is in no hurry to negotiate a contest with Lewis.

Like many, Hunter is intrigued by the battle between the two former world champions Wilder vs. Lewis Jr., and sees it as a matchup between big punchers of vastly different sizes.

“I got a tall thin toothpick and a short marshmallowMichael Hunter told iD Boxing about the Deontay Wilder vs. Andy Ruiz Jr. fight.

“Andy Ruiz’s experience is reflected in this one.He thinks a little more than Deontay Wilder, but Wilder has power, he’s tall, and he’s starting to get a little better at distance as he’s getting older.

“I think it’s going to be a very exciting fight. They’re both big punchers,” said Hunter.

Ruiz’s recent 12-round unanimous decision to beat 43-year-old Luis Ortiz in September last year has been disappointing. Despite beating Ortiz his third time, Ruiz emerged victorious.

Between knockdowns, Ruiz was completely outboxed by talented Cuban Ortiz. Ortiz has shown that even though he’s 43, he still has a lot of skills to pass.

The 33-year-old former IBF, WBA and WBO heavyweight champion Lewis Jr. (35-2, 22 KOs) embarrassed his 283-pound weight flabby for his rematch with Anthony Joshua in December 2019. I have lost a lot of weight since then. , he still isn’t exactly what you describe as slim.

Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) recently won his first bout in three years, beating former sparring partner Robert Helenius in a spectacular performance from the 6’7″ Bronze Bomber last October. defeated by knockout in the first round.

What was interesting about Wilder’s victory was the different look he had. I tried to avoid giving Hellenius.

Finally, near the end of the round, Wilder connected with a short right hand to Helenius’ head, knocking Helenius out cold with the canvas. If Wilder fought like that against Lewis, he could produce a quick knockout as well, and the same goes for his fourth contest with Tyson Fury.
