One of boxing's biggest punchers is back in the ring on June 27, with the chance to add another stoppage to his resume.
Former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder fights for the first time in over a year, looking to get back in the win column against Tyrrell Herndon in Wichita following back-to-back defeats in 2023 and 2024.
Wilder last featured in June 2024 when he suffered his fourth career loss, a fifth-round technical knockout defeat to Zhilei Zhang, which came less than six months after a unanimous decision defeat to Joseph Parker.
Still one of the preeminent names in the heavyweight division, Wilder aims to take one step closer to a potential big-name fight as he takes on Herndon, a longtime professional who has thus far fallen short each time he's stepped up in competition.
Here's all you need to know ahead of the Wilder vs. Herndon fight card.
The Deontay Wilder vs. Tyrell Herndon fight card can be purchased through BLK Prime pay-per-view, with an active subscription necessary to purchase, while the pay-per-view is also available through PPV.com.
