Brother Deontay Wilder is planning one more round
The brutal knockout loss based on the title of the world fight of his brother meant that Marsellos Wilder put out frosty and threw MGM Grand in Las Vegas in the shadows.
Over five years have passed since the younger brother of Deontay Wilder suffered a second defeat as a professional. The latest, frozen break time Dustin Long Long in November 2019 left Wilder’s Future under a ponderous cloud.
After throwing his own path in the ranks of the weight in the cruise weight of Marsellos, currently 36 years, he was from the fight on the Tyson Fury card in February 2020 after this harmful loss.
WBN was a witness to Marsellos in the dawn, standing strongly next to Deontay, as always. But he wasn’t to fight, he was there to rebuild.
The Road Back: Final test
After a destructive loss for Dustin Long, Marsellos Wilder actually tried to rebuild his professional boxing career as he vow.
“I was caught. I’m not hiding,” Marsellos said in a challenging statement after the fight. “No cuts, no bruises, no scratches, no scratches. I’m good.”
Wilder, who went to boxing slow after his university football career, became a professional at the age of twenty years and admitted that he was still learning. He thought the error would not happen again.
“I got up three rounds to zero, dominating, controlling the tempo. I made an amateur defense error, I left me exposed to shots from nowhere,” he said. “I was lower than taking L on something that can be improved. I believe in myself and I have talent to be great. So I get up, push myself away and try again.
“I will still become a champion through all ups and downs.”
According to his word, Marsellos returned to the ring. His last professional fight took place on March 22, 2022 against Eric Abraham. Unfortunately, the return hit another road blockade when Wilder suffered unanimous loss of decision, expanding his professional record to 5 wins, three losses and 0 draws (from 2 KO).
Marsellos Wilder did not compete professionally from this fight. His BoxRec profile He lists his inactive status, with his last registered activity in 2022. It seems that the journey to “becoming a champion” in the weight of the cruiser’s weight.
A name that brings power – and pressure
Being wild in boxing is associated with heavyweight expectations. Power works in a family, but like a harsh, unfinished style, which critics have long indicated as a weakness. Marsellos knows that. And he tried to train because of it.
During the blocking period, after losing, he published a challenging video in social media for a long time: “Hands up, chin down. Keeping my soil and keeping my head on a rotating. Launching combination, f – up the bag, visualizing my imagination.”
A few weeks after a long loss of his tone, he became almost poetic: “I used to think I needed love, but when I died, I realized that I just had to give it … I would be stronger and smarter. I sign a little more strongly.”
Redemption in the blood: What is for Marsellos now?
While his older brother Deontay also dealt with his career, especially after his trilogy with Tyson Fury, he remained an outstanding figure in the heavyweight ward. However, Marsellos quietly disappeared from an lively professional boxing scene from his loss in 2022 with Eric Abraham.
Both brothers Wilder found themselves in an unknown territory when they climbed the knockout failures. But if their common DNA says something, he doesn’t know how to quit.
While Deontay is still planning his next movements after winning the redemption over Tirrell Herndon, Marsellos’s path in the ring seems ambiguous.
It seems that the dream of creating his master’s heritage has ended, but the family’s immunity remains because the last chapter for Marsellos remains open to write.
As WBN informed, Tommy Fury expressed interest in the potential struggle of fury vs. Wilder on Arena Boxing Boxing Arena.
There is still scope and demand if Marsellos can ever return to the winning ways.

Fabio Wardley can turn his early success against Daniel Dubois into a rematch victory if he avoids exhausting himself chasing the finish. He proved he could hurt Dubois in their first fight. The harder task is keeping control when an opponent he has dropped continues coming forward.
Wardley scored two early knockdowns before Dubois recovered and stopped him. That leaves an opening for a different result, although better pacing alone may not be enough to prevent another punishing night.
Chris Mannix and Sergio Mora both back Wardley to win again on Saturday, with Mannix choosing him by stoppage. Mora believes Wardley’s eagerness to finish Dubois helped undo his promising start.
“If he just doesn’t punch himself out, he thinks about setting up that right hand, doesn’t get right hand happy,” Mora said to DAZN Boxing.
That is the adjustment Wardley needs to make under pressure. Once Dubois survived his biggest punches, Wardley needed something beyond another loaded right hand. Working behind his jab and putting punches together would give him more ways to attack without spending everything on a single finish.
Dubois deserves credit for surviving those knockdowns and returning to his jab. Mora believes his previous defeats helped him stay composed when Wardley hurt him. Wardley now has his own experience of a fight turning against him.
“I think he’ll be smarter after this fight. I think he’ll learn some lessons,” Mannix said. “I think Wardley wins by stoppage in this fight.”
Mannix’s biggest concern is what the first beating took out of Wardley. Learning the tactical lesson does not guarantee he will absorb Dubois’ punches the same way in the rematch.
Wardley’s power gives their picks a credible foundation. He has already put Dubois down twice. To complete the job, he needs to create another opening without allowing the pursuit of a knockout to leave him exhausted and exposed again.
Jesse Rodriguez is willing to meet Naoya Inoue in March, yet that timeline still depends entirely on the undisputed champion waiting for him. Inoue may prefer an earlier ring return, which would leave Rodriguez on the outside looking in as he continues handling business at bantamweight.
Trainer Robert Garcia revealed that Rodriguez can make a March date work, moving up his original April or May target. Still, the camp intends to take on WBO champion Christian Medina in December first.
Robert confirmed the updated outlook to The Ring: “I previously said April or May, but we can be ready for March.”
While that shortens the wait, early 2027 remains unresolved. Turki Alalshikh pointed toward a January appearance in Japan. Eddie Hearn mentioned February or March instead. Clear alignment on a date is completely absent.
Rodriguez must fulfill a contract before New Year’s Eve, with Garcia eyeing December 11 or December 19 against Medina. The camp figures Rodriguez can enjoy the holidays, then jump straight into camp for Inoue.
That expectation rests on an ideal outcome against Medina. Cuts, bruised knuckles, or an unexpectedly brutal bout could easily force Rodriguez to take extra recovery time. Inoue would effectively be pinning his calendar on a fighter who still has to survive another bout first.
Inoue is already eyeing an eventual jump to featherweight. Sitting around waiting for Rodriguez to finish his stay at 118 pounds makes little sense for the Japanese star.
Garcia admitted neither he nor Hearn has received an official approach to begin talks. The public chatter is moving much faster than the paperwork.
Putting March on the table does not guarantee Inoue’s cooperation. If March works on both sides, the matchup can happen. If Inoue wants to fight sooner, Rodriguez will either have to scrap his December plans or watch this major fight slip away.
Bam is acting like someone who wants the glory of calling out Inoue without actually taking the risk of meeting him on his terms.
When a fighter gets an invitation to share a ring with the sport’s biggest pound-for-pound attraction, they drop everything. They do not tell the undisputed champion to take a number and wait until spring because Christian Medina is on the calendar. That makes zero sense. A routine belt grab against Medina does nothing for Rodriguez’s profile, brings in a fraction of the money, and accomplishes very little that fans care about.
