Deontay Wilder plans heavyweight comeback in June

Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder is set to make his return to boxing after a year-long hiatus following a knockout loss to Zhilei Zhang. Wilder, now 39, will face Tyrrell Herndon in June as a warm-up bout, with his sights firmly set on reclaiming world titles and targeting major fights later this year. Despite four losses in his last five bouts, Wilder maintains confidence in his ability to revive the heavyweight division and pursue 'all the belts.' He emphasized that he is taking his upcoming fight seriously and views it as a crucial step toward bigger matchups, potentially including high-profile opponents like Anthony Joshua or Francis Ngannou. Wilder's 97 percent knockout rate and extensive experience make his comeback highly anticipated among boxing fans. This return marks a pivotal moment as he aims to reestablish himself at the top of the heavyweight class.
