Deontay Wilder Set to Announce Comeback Fight

Deontay Wilder, the former WBC heavyweight champion, is set to return to the boxing ring in April 2025 after suffering back-to-back losses, including a recent knockout defeat to Zhilei Zhang. Despite calls for his retirement following a disappointing performance against Joseph Parker, Wilder remains determined to prove he still has knockout power. Reports suggest that he and his manager will announce his next opponent during a media event in Los Angeles. Possible contenders include Francis Ngannou and Guido Vianello, as Wilder looks to revive his career amidst doubts about his abilities following a string of defeats. Boxing journalist Manouk Akopyan has confirmed these developments, stating that Wilder's comeback fight will take place on BLK Prime, a platform he has not previously been associated with. Wilder expressed a commitment to continuing his boxing journey, emphasizing that 'the best is yet to come.'
