Deontay Wilder is set to return to the boxing ring TONIGHT for a significant heavyweight matchup against Tyrrell Herndon.
Many observers believed this might be the last time we`d see the `Bronze Bomber` compete, following his knockout loss to Zhilei Zhang a year ago.
This defeat marked Wilder`s fourth loss in his recent five bouts; his sole victory during this period was against Robert Helenius in October 2022.
The loss to Zhang by the Alabama native effectively ended possibilities for a long-awaited fight with Anthony Joshua, leading to speculation about the future path of the `Bronze Bomber`s` career.
Wilder`s current effort to regain his position at the top of the heavyweight ranks starts with this fight against Herndon. Herndon, currently on a three-fight winning streak, aims for the most significant victory of his career.
A win for the `Bronze Bomber` could put him back in contention for a major fight soon, whereas a loss might signal the conclusion of the former WBC heavyweight champion`s career.
