Spzilka does not deserve this title fight vs. Wilder.

So considering how he performed did Spzilka deserve the fight?

Neither of them deserved to be in a title fight. They both suck.

That's the same thing I was thinking about the Tyson/Wlad fight.

Thank God I missed that one

In fairness Martin made no sense at all receiving a title shot. Has to be one of the top ugliest inconclusive wins in heavyweight title history.

What a way to win a title.

He's ripe for the picking for ol David Haye.

What a way to lose a title. Biggest fight of your career, the opportunity every fighter in every gym dreams about...and you fall down and hurt yourself. Twice.

In answer to the original question, I've seen a lot less deserving challengers. Why Wilder wanted him as a voluntary , I'm not sure. Yes, he has a decent ex pat following there, but if that's the best moneymaker he can get in between mandatories , then he needs to get over to the UK Fast. He'd make more money taking on someone over here.
I'd be really curious to see if the likes of Haye and Joshua or even Joe Parker would risk fighting Szpilka . I thought he did really well till he got KTFO.
