Den 3-årige pro kommer efter et stop i 7. runde over Juan Rodriguez November 5 i det samme sted.
Fox is wrapping up training camp in the D.C. område, and he believes that Wiggins could be the toughest test of his young professional career.
“Træningslejr har været stor. It has been another good camp,” sagde Fox.
“Wiggins is a dangerous opponent. I have fought opponents that may have had more experience, but Wiggins has a lot of power in both hands. He is left handed like I am.”
Fox has been progressing up the ladder, and now he is considered to be on some prospects lists on the East Coast. A win over the heavy handed Wiggins would solidify his status as 2017 progresses.
“I think fighting him is the next step in my progression. I wanted to be tested, and Wiggins is a guy who has power. I am not looking to take those punches, bit if I do, I will be ready for what he has.”
Fox doesn’t have to look far for motivation, as he brother, talented middleweight Alantez Fox has a bout on February 25th for the NABF title, and the two train side by side with each other under the guidance of their trainer, who also happens to be their father, Troy Fox,
“We are both very motivated. We are there for each other. We feed off each other in the gym and it is a great motivator to train next to him every day.”
A win over Wiggins will keep Fox moving towards his short term goal for 2017.
“I am looking to get in a few more eight-round bouts, and then be able to get some some television bouts. As long as I continue to stay busy, I see that happening.”
Wiggins af Newbergh, New York har en registrering af 7-2 med seks knockouts.
Den 26 årige southpaw scorede knockouts i sine første tre kampe ved knockout, hvilket blev fremhævet af en 1. runde ødelæggelse af den nuværende WBA Super Fjervægt verdensmester Jason Sosa.
