Deontay Wilder focuses on next opponent: “We will make it happen”

Deontay Wilder appears to be in talks for his next appearance, which may include negotiations with Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn.
The former WBC heavyweight champion scored a split decision victory over Derek Chisora in April, scoring two knockouts in a mostly close 12-round fight.
Previously, Wilder claimed that approx seventh-round finish over Tyrrell Herndon after consecutive defeats to Zhilei Zhang and Joseph Parker.
Chisora’s triumph therefore came at a critical moment, although many remain convinced that the 40-year-old should implement his retirement plan.
An imminent departure from the sport, however, seems increasingly unlikely as the ‘Bronze Bomber’ is currently considering a possible rematch with fellow veteran Chisora.
Unlike Wilder, Chisora promised that their first meeting would be his last fight, believing that his 50th professional fight would be a suitable event from which he would retire.
However, the way their clash ended inspired the 42-year-old to demand an immediate rematch, hoping for a more favorable outcome next time.
I’m talking to Daily mail boxChisora managed to get a response from Wilder via FaceTime, and the American expressed interest in withdrawing him.
“Hell yes. We’ll make it happen.”
Chisora added that he intended to speak to Hearn, suggesting he was a free agent with the promotion and wanted to strike a deal with the Matchroom boss.
However, although he verbally agreed to a rematch, there is of course no guarantee that Wilder will ultimately put pen to paper.

He played running back at the University of Georgia and signed with the Carolina Panthers as an undrafted free agent in 2019 and later spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles and Cincinnati Bengals.

WWE path
Holyfield signed a WWE developmental contract in November 2024. He competed in the first season of the WWE reality show LFG (Legends and Future Greats), where he mentored The Undertaker and earned a contract that placed him on the Evolve brand.
