Deontay Wilder to defend WBC title against Eric Molina

WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has agreed to defend his title against Eric Molina.

The undefeated Wilder, who clinched the title with a unanimous points decision against Bermane Stiverne in January, has been dominant throughout his career and his most recent triumph was the only time he went past the fourth round.

Molina has claimed five wins in a row, including an eighth-round TKO over Raphael Zumbano Love on the Wilder-Stiverne undercard, but he will be the underdog in the bout in Birmingham, Alabama.

The 33-year-old has lost just two of his 25 professional fights.
