Deontay Wilder's Comeback Fight Set for June 27

Former heavyweight boxing champion Deontay Wilder is set to return to the ring against Tyrrell Herndon on June 27 in Wichita, Kansas. Wilder, who held the WBC title from 2015 to 2020, is looking to bounce back after recent losses, including a knockout defeat by Zhilei Zhang and a points loss to Joseph Parker. These setbacks derailed potential high-profile matches, such as a long-anticipated bout with Anthony Joshua. Despite reaching a career crossroads, Wilder aims to prove he remains one of boxing's hardest punchers. Herndon, with a record of 24 wins and five losses, has rebounded from previous defeats with recent victories against lesser-known opponents. The fight will be promoted by Global Combat Collective and broadcast on pay-per-view, marking Wilder's first step in a potential comeback path.
