“There was never any questions for retirement,” there was recently a former world heavyweight cytla, Deontay Wilder, “Because at the moment I could not understand what was happening to me, and indicate why some things were happening.”

Undoubtedly, Wilder had a whole career for himself. After winning the heavyweight title, WBC in 2015, he successfully defended his crown many times – exactly ten – before Tyson Fury stopped him in the second of three classic matches. Wilder Fury’s first fight ended in a draw. However, the last two ended over the space that they lose to Wilder, even though he has erected fury many times.

As you stand now, the native Alabama lost two of the last three fights – Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang, respectively. And yet the whole year was removed from his last fight, a man known as a “brown bomber” emanates confidence in the match against Tyrell Herndon this month.

“After the fight, Zhang,” said Wilder Forbes, “I finally realized what was happening to me and I took action immediately.” I called Shelly, who is my manager, I said: “Shelly, I know what it is now,” we shared the deep thoughts that night and I immediately received facilitate for it, “Wilder admits that Wilder admits that Wilder admits that everything was not there, he never thought about retirement.” In my opinion, I never had a pension because I said that I didn’t finish. “

Indeed, the thought of retiring could never make a man’s mind. “I never thought about surrender, I never thought about resignation,” said Wilder. “I never thought about retiring. These are rumors and stuff and (I say) – people do not know. Most people want to be the first than correct. We live today in a world where you want to put everything in social media to click and like to earn money.”

While some may say that Wilder lacks skill, that it is only a blow, the truth is that he was one of the most stimulating heavyweight that the world has seen for a long time. You can never think about the fight of Deontay Wilder, who was tedious. That is why it will always be good that the fans saw Wilder back, provided that he is in relatively good shape. Considering this, the man is now 39 years venerable and is the most hard to sport. Fans can only wish him all the best. On the other hand, who knows? It can actually shock the world when everything is said and done. “No matter what I got and what I can have in my life,” said Forbes warrior, “I still think there is more to do.”

a biopic chronicling the career of former featherweight champion Prince Naseem Hamed will be released in select U.S. theaters and on VOD on May 22. The film stars Amir El-Masry as Hamed and Pierce Brosnan as his longtime trainer Brendan Ingle, with Sylvester Stallone among the executive producers.

Directed and written by Rowan Athale, it premiered at the BFI London Film Festival in October 2025 and was released in the UK and Ireland on January 9, 2026, before arriving in the Middle East via the Red Sea Film Festival. Vertical holds U.S. distribution rights, and the film was financed by AGC Studios and BondIt Media Capital.

What the movie covers

The plot follows Hamed’s rise from Sheffield, England, to a world title under Ingle, an Irish-born steelworker who ran a boxing gym in a church hall. According to the official description, the film also addresses the racism and Islamophobia that Hamed faced in the UK in the 1980s and 1990s, and also focuses on his relationship with Ingle, who died in 2018.

Collider published an exclusive clip from the film on May 21 featuring Hamed’s 1994 fight against Vincenzo Belcastro. In this fight, Hamed won the European bantamweight title in 12 rounds, which was only his 12th professional contest, which was the beginning of his later career.

The warrior behind the film

Hamed, a southpaw of Yemeni heritage, finished his professional career with a 36-1 record and 31 knockouts while holding featherweight titles in multiple sanctioning bodies throughout the 1990s. Now 51, he was known for his unconventional style, pre-fight showmanship and ring walks that often ended with a fall over the top rope. In 2015, he was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

Following Ingle’s death, Hamed directly attributed his success to his coach Ring that without him he wouldn’t have achieved what he did in sports.

The supporting cast included Toby Stephens as promoter Frank Warren and Katherine Dow Blyton as Alma Ingle. The film lasts 110 minutes.

Image: Rico Verhoeven Reacts To Usyk Loss: “I’m Here To Stay”

Rico Verhoeven insists he has proven he belongs in boxing despite an 11th-round loss to Oleksandr Usyk on Saturday night in Egypt.

The former kickboxing champion pushed Usyk much harder than many expected before the referee stepped in tardy in the fight. At the time of the stoppage, two judges had the fight even at 95-95, with the third having Verhoeven ahead 96-94.


“Yeah, it sucks. I felt like I was so close to shocking the world,” Rico Verhoeven told DAZN Boxing after the fight.

“I want to stay here. I think I showed the world that I can definitely box. Even as a kickboxer they told me, ‘Who is this guy? He can’t do anything. It’ll be four or five rounds,’ but I think after four or five rounds we were pretty even in terms of results.”

“So I think it was a crazy, crazy performance. I felt like I was so close to winning, but it is what it is.”

Verhoeven entered the fight as the main underdog against the undefeated unified heavyweight champion, but his physical pressure, size and willingness to trade caused Usyk to struggle during several early and middle rounds.

The performance immediately changed the discussion about Verhoeven’s future in boxing.

Rather than treat the fight as a one-off, the Dutch heavyweight later made it clear that he planned to continue boxing despite the defeat. His comments also reflected the fierceness of the fight before Usyk finally took control in the championship rounds and forced a stoppage.

For much of the fight, Verhoeven looked much more comfortable than many expected against one of boxing’s greatest champions.
