Birmingham is again in the running to serve as the site of a heavyweight boxing match featuring World Boxing Council champion Deontay Wilder of Tuscaloosa.
It took longer than most expected, and there were a few uncomfortable moments for the WBC Heavyweight Champion. But in the end, Deontay Wilder ended the fight in his usual fashion: with a powerful right hand. Wilder knocked out challenger Eric Molina, a heavy underdog, in the ninth round in font of over 9,000 screaming fans in a sold-out Bartow Arena in Birmingham...
Thanks to Greene Beverage and Budweiser, we wanted to help support Tuscaloosa's hometown champ by giving away for tickets to Deontay Wilder's title fight against Eric Molina to a VIP member.
On the eve of the WBC Heavyweight Championship title bout, Deontay Wilder and challenger Eric Molina will step on the scales for the official weigh-in.
Longtime boxing promoter Don King is vibrantly visiting the state of Alabama as a passionate promoter for the upcoming Deontay Wilder versus Eric Molina title fight.
The state of Alabama might be known for a rich college football tradition, but some of the greatest athletes in sports have come from the Yellowhammer State.
You probably know all about the players that went to college in the state and starred for Crimson Tide or Auburn Tigers, but you might not know that some of the all-time greats also got their start right here in Alabama...
