The former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder will return on June 27 in a 10-round fight vs. Tyrrell Herndon in Wichita, Kansas, promoters Nelson Lopez and Joshua Chasse from Global Combat Collective said ESPN on Friday.

39 -year -old Wilder won only one of the last five fights. He was brutally knocked out by the player in the weighty weight of Zhilei Zhang in June, and earlier he was led by the former champion Joseph Parker within 12 rounds.

Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KO) is considered one of the most terrifying puncakers of the weight division.

His trilogy championship with Tyson Fury was unforgettable; Despite 0-2-1, Wilder summed up fury twice in each of the first and third meetings. In the second duel Wilder was detained in round 7.

Now Wilder will want to win his first win from October 2022 (KO in the first round of Robert Helenius) with this fight with Herndon, a 37-year-old journeyal from San Antonio with a record 24-5 (from 15 KO).

Herndon has won three fights since the loss of TKO in the second round with the invincible Olympic silver medalist Richard Torrez in October 2023. The last fight of Herndon was a six -shaped fraction in May 2024.

“It is Wilder’s legacy, overloaded, is still one of the most tough boxing puncher,” said Chasse. “He is on the road to becoming a heavyweight champion, and this is the first step.”

Will Shakura Stevenson’s “glass hands” cost him against the machine to hit William Zepeda?

Image: Will Shakur Stevenson's "Glass Hands" Cost Him Against Punching Machine William Zepeda?

Shakur Stevenson says that he comes to the “belt to *** belt” in his featherlight defense of the WBC belt title against William Zezdedie on July 12 at the Turki Alalshikh event in Queens, Fresh York. Stevenson (23-0, 11 KO) looked dissatisfied, mentioning that some people perceive this as “the most tough fight” of his career. It seems that he does not feel like this, but fans may be right. Shakur sometimes fought in his last title defense against electrician Josh Padley, whose supervisor, Eddie Hearn, chose for him.

Glass hands, real danger?

Stevensons’ glass hands exposes him to the loss of Zepeda, because this is not a kind of warrior he can overcome by throwing featherlight blows or fighting with one hand. He will need the work of both hands and will have to sit on his shot.

July 12 Shakur vs. Zepeda (33-0, 27 KO) will meet in cooperation on the Edgar Berlanga vs. card Hamzah Sheeraz at the Louis Armstrong stadium in Queens, Fresh York.

“On paper it is to be the most tough fight in my career. Let’s see what will happen on July 12,” said Shakur Stevenson to Ring magazineSpeaking of his defense of the title against William Zepeda in Queens, Fresh York. “I’m so afraid. I don’t think I’m so scared in my life. You have a guy who is massive, forceful and physical. He comes there to impose his will. I’m very afraid of this fight, yes.”

Regardless of whether he wants to admit it or not, Zepeda is the most tough fight in Shakura’s career. He is younger, stronger, throws more blows and is more aggressive than the restricted guys he met with. Until now, Stevenson’s best opponents were restricted to these fighters:

– Jamel Herring – 35 and Minę
– Oscar Valdez – washed
– Edwin de los Santos – inexperienced
– Joet Gonzalez
– Jeremiah Nakathlia

That’s all. These are the best guys that Stevenson fought during his eight -year professional career, and these guys are not close to the level that he is fighting for. None of these fighters could compete with him.

Shakur: “Zepeda stops me?”

“William Zepeda said he stops me until the 10th round. Let’s see,” said Shakur. “I come there to put the belt ** and perform to beat it. July 12 will be a better program [than the May 2nd event]. You got me on this card and I feel that I am better than any warrior on this card. “

If Stevenson means he is better than anyone on the card on July 12, he is wrong. He would not be on the card if he were better than all fighters. As for the event on May 2, Shakur is not better than Teofimo Lopez. As for talents, it is at the level of Devin Haney. He lacks the strength and aggressiveness of Ryan Garcia and Rolando Romero. Shakura’s skills are good, but he has no power or forceful hands to make him a complete warrior. His hands are made of glass.

“I feel that my fight is more tough and better fight [than the main event clash between Edgar Berlanga and Hamzah Sheeraz]Shakur said. “My fight is also a fight for the title. It makes sense. We are in Fresh York. This is his hometown, so it should be a amusing event.”

Stevenson’s fight with Zepeda can be more tough than the main event, but not because of him. Zepeda is the one that will make it tough for his high result, power and endurance. Shakur is accosted.

Who really tilts?

“So admit he is cheating on me,” Shakur said about Zepedy. “I think that he would be a tough task for everyone in the division. He throws a billion blows. He arrives to impose his will. One thing is that we know what comes. There are different things in my game where you don’t know what I intend to do,” said Shakur.

Zepeda tried to fight Shakur on May 3, but he felt it was too early. So who is open? Instead of complaining, he should be elated that he is fighting him now because he has the opportunity to show fans that he is better than him. There are many people who think Zepeda will win this fight and make Shakur look bad, leading him all night, just like De los Santos.

Eddie Hearn annoyed Tyson Fury: “pull us out of our misery.”

Eddie Hearn Exasperated With Tyson Fury: “Put Us Out Of Our Misery.”

By: Sean Crose

Boxing has always been a sport of the mind, and few were better in it than there were a liter of weighty Tyson Fury. Although he is officially retired, the man is still renting for free in the minds of fans, analysts, fighters, and especially the promoter Anthony Joshua Eddie Hearn. Although neither Tyson nor Anthony Joshua are world champions, the fight between two high Englishmen would be a great thing for this sport, especially in Great Britain, where the fight would certainly take place. However, Hearn accuses fury of being fury, irritating the potential fight, but not to say anything specific.

“I feel that Tyson Fury is really a bit excited, right?” Hearn asked rhetorically. “I mean that we see Instagram on Instagram … Even today I left the press conference, went on Instagram, he is there with wrapping on 12 rounds of boxing. Why do you do this? What do you do? What do you do? You just intentionally play with our minds, or are you coming back?” Indeed, Hearn is now doing a favor for fury. “Just let us know,” he says. “Throw us out of our misery.”

If Fury somehow decides to return, Hearn will probably direct the date of the fall with Joshua. “Listen, AJ must have a miniature key hole in the elbow,” said Hearn. “He will come back. It is there, right? Let’s just do it.” As for Hearn, Fury and Joshua, it would be terrible not to meet in the ring. “When we talk about great fights,” said Hearn, “This fight is the biggest fight, not only in British boxing, on world boxing, for a mile. I just feel that it’s time. It’s a moment.”

Boxing fandom has been waiting for the fight of fury-yoshua for years. At some point, the fighters were set to fight for the unquestioned championship in the heavyweight of the world. Oleksandr Usyk put an end to this, defeating Fury, and then Joshua, twice to a piece. Despite this, there is a lot to like in Fury and Joshua, they finally slip between the ropes and threw.

“We are dependent on Tyson Fury,” said Hearn. “We are ready to leave, but of course it must feel comfortable. It must be for it … he is such and such a competition, and I just know that he will want to dance with Anthony Joshua. So vacuum these shoes and make it so that it happens.”

The charismatic Edgar Berlang dominated today’s Kickoff press conference, laughing with the opponent of Hamzah Sheeraz, telling him that if he came to fight, he ends up as his 18th. Hood victim of the first round of the first round on July 12 in Queens, Recent York. Berlanga (23-1, 18 Kos) put fear in the invincible Sheeraz (21-0-1, 17 KO), telling him how he ends in the mud in their main fight.

The promise of the first round of Berlang

Edgar says that he believes that the novel coach of Hamzah, Andy Lee, will make him run in the ring like “Ballerina” so that he would not be knocked out. He knows that he will not want to mix him with him.

The monitor responsible for a press conference tried to stop Berlang from talking for some time and strengthening good discussion. It would be better to have someone other than Todd Grisham. He is more gentle and brings humor. Today’s monitor was more an obstacle when Edgar tried to talk.

“I leave, throw away a few stabs, lands with my right hand and knock him out,” he said Hamzah Sheeraz.

“He will be my 18th knockout in the first round,” he said Edgar Berlanga. “If you go to fight in the first round, I throw him away.” You have your last fight. That’s why you slowed down the trainer. You think you will come here and fuck with me. You will have to kill me. “

After Berlanga talked, Berlanga can be said that he means business on July 12. Sheeraz will have to fight much better than he showed in his last fight with the WBC Carlos Adames medium weight champion if he wants to survive on his feet. Berlanga says he will take him to the trenches.
