Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder is set to return to the ring against Tyrrell Herndon in Wichita, Kansas.
Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder is set to return to the ring on June 27, 2025, facing American heavyweight Tyrrell Herndon in Wichita, Kansas.
Deontay ‘The Bronze Bomber’ Wilder boasts a professional record of 43 wins, 4 losses, and 1 draw, with an impressive 42 victories coming by knockout.
He held the WBC heavyweight title until Tyson Fury took it from him, and was once a highly-feared contender in the heavyweight division.
Wilder is best known for his trilogy with Fury, which resulted in a draw and two losses for the American.
He also secured victories over Luis Ortiz and Bermane Stiverne but has lost every fight he’s had in the last six years, aside from his fight against Robert Helenius.
His most recent bout was a knockout loss to Zhilei Zhang in June 2024, and his next fight is set to take place 391 days after this loss.
Deontay Wilder Will Face Tyrrell Herndon Next
Tyrrell Herndon holds a professional record of 24 wins and 5 losses. His recent fights include a loss to Richard Torrez Jr. in October 2023 and, in his most recent fight, a split decision victory against 7-0-1 Rudy Silvas in a six-round contest.
Herndon’s upcoming match against Wilder represents a significant step up in competition and a major opportunity in his boxing career, though for Wilder it marks either a step forward in returning to the top, or the last chance for ‘The Bronze Bomber.’
