After back-to-back poor performances, it seemed as though former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder could walk away from boxing for good. Instead, Wilder will return to the ring on June 27 to take on Tyrrell Herndon in Wichita,

Former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder to return to the ring in June vs. Tyrell Herndon after over a year off from the sport.

Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KO) boasts just one victory in the last five years, a first-round knockout of Robert Helenius in 2022. That bout followed a pair of losses to Tyson Fury in their trilogy and preceded both a tepid decision loss to Joseph Parker and a violent one-punch finish at the hands of Zhilei Zhang.
