Deontay Wilder plans comeback fight against Tyrrell Herndon

Deontay Wilder is set to return to the boxing ring on June 27 against Tyrrell Herndon after a challenging period in his personal and professional life, where he admitted to losing confidence and feeling betrayed by those close to him. Despite a rough patch of 1-4 in his last five fights, Wilder is determined to reclaim his status, focusing on a three-fight plan for 2025 to regain his form. He has also expressed interest in a potential matchup with former UFC champion Francis Ngannou, with negotiations currently in early stages. Wilder's recent struggles have included multiple shoulder injuries that hindered his training, but he is now committed to healing and improving his performance. He anticipates that his upcoming fights will serve as a tune-up before aiming for larger bouts, possibly outside the United States. Wilder's resilience and focus on mental health are central themes as he prepares for his comeback.
