After experiencing an annual dismissal, former WBC world champion, DEONTAY WILDER, returns to the ring because he will face Tyrrell Herndon (24-5, 15 KO) on Friday evening, June 27, in Kochita, Wichita, Kansas, Streaming Live at BLK Prime and PPV.com.
Wilder experienced a rapid fall from glory because he has now lost two fights. His opponent, Tyrrell Herndon, is aware of the fact that the fight against Deontay Wilder is a great opportunity, and in the Night of Fighting Herndon plans to employ this moment.
After the creation of seven successful defense of the world title, Deontay Wilder was ready to defend his WBC belt against Tyson Fury in December 2018. Wilder Pwloni Fury twice, but after the 12-round competition, the fight was recognized as a distribution of the switchgear.
Deontay Wilder would shoot victory with a knockout over Dominik Breazeale and Luis “King Kong” Ortiz. On February 22, 2020, Deontay Wilder defended his title against Tyson Fury for the second time.
The tenth defense of WBC Wilder’s title would be his last, because Fury stopped at Wilder in the seventh round. Almost two years later, Fury and Wilder fought for the third time and once again Fury won the space.
Wilder bounced from victory in the first round in the style of attractions over Robert Helenius. It seemed that he returned to his aged self, but unfortunately for Wilder a few trips to Saudi Arabia changed the trajectory of his boxing career.
In December 2023, Joseph Parker defeated Wilder when he defeated him in a unanimous decision. Six months later, Wilder returned to Saudi Arabia, and Zhilei Zhang stopped him in the 5th round.
Now the 39-year-old former heavyweight champion DEONTAY “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KO) is located at a crossroads because he is to face an opponent who is unknown. For Wilder, the fight with June 27 is a target, but for his opponent it will be a fight defining a career.
After losing to Corey Barlow and suffering the fourth defeat in his career Tyrrell Herndon began to start nine wins. In October 2023, Herndon was to face the undefeated Richard Torrez Jr.
Herndon entered the ring, looking incredibly unprepared when Torrez overwhelmed Herndon with his activity. It was a brief box of boxing when Torrez stopped Herndon in the second round.
Tyrrell, from San Antonio in Texas, Herndon bounced, leading a series of victory in three fights. Now he is to fight the former world champion in massive weight, who is extremely hazardous.
Herndon is a forceful blow that has a good right hand, but his opponent is a hardly striking warrior with a destructive right hand. The last two losses of Wilder came against opponents who were able to pass him thoroughly and neutralize his right hand.
It is very doubtful that Tyrrell Herndon is able to open Wilder thoroughly and avoid Wilder’s great right hand all night. Realistically, the clash of Wilder versus Herndon should be a brief match that Wilder ends spectacularly.
Deontay Wilder is a boxer who has never had a powerful set of skills, but for several years he was afraid of many because he is potentially the largest knockout artist in the history of boxing.
On the night of June 27, Wilder wants to dominate Herndon and maintain a potential fight with a lot of money with Anthony Joshua. Over the past few fights, Wilder has looked like a man whose heart was not completely devoted to boxing sports.
On Friday evening, June 27, Wilder must revive his passion for a fight. Losing this fight is not an option because the former WBC World Heavyweight, DEONTAY WILDER champion, stands in the face of Win Huge or return home.
Wilder parted from many years of coach Malik Scott, replacing him with Don House, an experienced corner with a senseless approach. The change signals a more aggressive reset.
Oleksandr Usyk has shared his reaction to Anthony Joshua‘s dramatic knockout victory against Kristian Prenga.
Usyk nearly suffered his own shock defeat in May when he was pushed to the limit by kickboxing star Rico Verhoevenand two months on it was nrw teammate Joshua’s turn to come close to a massive upset loss that would have stunned the heavyweight division.
The Brit was dropped twice by massive underdog Prenga in the opening round of their clash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but ‘AJ’ managed to recover and record a big knockdown of his own in the second round that resulted in the stoppage victory.
Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.
Speaking to TalkSporttwo-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.
“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.
It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.
“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”
Fury was victorious on Friday as he earned a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, paving the way for the showdown against Joshua later this year.
Jake Paul was the last man to fight Anthony Joshua and he has now revealed his verdict on AJ’s chaotic victory over Kristian Prenga.
Joshua went up against Prenga in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturdayin a clash that was expected to be a comfortable win for the former world heavyweight champion in order to set up the long overdue battle against Tyson Fury.
Any hopes of seeing that clash were nearly ended after AJ was dropped twice in the opening round of the bout, though he was able to recover and claim the second round knockout to come out on top and prevent a stunning shock upset from taking place.
Saturday’s outing saw Joshua back in the ring for the first time since his sixth round triumph over YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul back in Decemberand now ‘The Problem Child’ himself has shared his reaction to his former rival’s victory over Prenga.
Posting on social mediaPaul praised AJ for earning the win, after returning to action following the tragic car crash he was involved in at the end of last year which took the lives of his two close friends.
“Happy for Joshua with that win after all he’s been through. Remembering Sina and Latz with this one.”

The win for Joshua should now tee up for meeting with Fury later this year, after ‘The Gypsy King’ held up his end of the bargain by also securing a win in his warm-up bout on Friday, securing a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach.
Anthony Joshua may have earned a knockout win over Kristian Prenga but the fight certainly didn’t unfold as most people expected.
Joshua was facing the Albanian in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, and it looked like a massive upset could be on the cards when he was dropped twice in the opening round.
‘AJ’ was able to recover and went on to secure a second round knockout victory to prevent the shock lossseemingly paving the way for the battle against Tyson Fury later this year.
One man who was ringside to witness the battle was former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellewand he praised Joshua’s ability to turn things around in the fight after describing it as ‘chaos’.
“We predicted round two but I don’t think we foresaw that. That was chaos. He doesn’t see the uppercut coming and finds himself on the floor without knowing how he got there.
“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.
“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.
“When Joshua gets a fighter hurt he’s the best finisher in the division. Whenever he hurts someone they’re gone. I haven’t seen him drop anybody and they survive, only Andy Ruiz. He’s a ruthless finisher.”
The clash between Joshua and Fury is now expected to be announced soon for later this year, after Fury won his own interim fight on Friday by defeating Mariusz Wach.
