Deontay Wilder takes on Chris Arreola for the WBC heavyweight title

Deontay Wilder is set for the fourth defence of his WBC world heavyweight title against Chris Arreola - live on Sky Sports.

Live Fight Night International

The towering American (36-0-KO35) returns to Birmingham, Alabama having recorded a ninth-round knockout of his previous challenger Artur Szpilka in New York.

With Wilder already making noises about taking on WBA Super and WBO champion Tyson Fury and IBF holder Anthony Joshua in lucrative unification bouts, the heavyweight world will be watching as he takes on California's Arreola (36-4-1-KO31).

The underdog arrives in the south having lost previous world title challenges to Vitali Klitschko (via 10th-round stoppage) in 2009 and Bermane Stiverne (via sixth-round stoppage) in 2014.

Despite that, Arreola claims to feel at the top of his game at the age of 35 and is determined to upset Wilder and his home fans by pulling off what would be one of the boxing shocks of the year.
