Wilder returns to winning ways after another long break
Former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has once again made a name for himself in the professional ring, winning a convincing victory after two consecutive defeats. His return took place in Wichita, Kansas, where he fought a fierce battle with experienced American compatriot Tyrell Herndon. The 39-year-old boxer proved that his talent and fighting spirit are still alive, despite a difficult period in his career. The fight began actively, and in the second round Wilder managed to knock out his opponent, sending him to a knockdown. However, Herndon, trying to continue the fight, held out and fought until the sixth round. In this series of duels, he was again knocked out of rhythm after a powerful blow from the American. Then, in the seventh round — without much expectation — the referee unexpectedly stopped the fight, deciding that Herndon was unable to continue the fight. This victorious achievement is special for Wilder, as he returned to winning ways after setbacks against such serious opponents as New Zealander Joseph Packer and Chinese fighter Zhang Zhilei. In the past, he successfully defended the WBC world heavyweight title 10 times, and now has a record of 44 wins, 4 losses and 1 draw. At the same time, his reputation as the “Bronze Bomber” remains unquestioned — everyone knows about his powerful punch and ability to see the fight to the end. This fight not only restores faith in Wilder’s fighting spirit, but also emphasizes his desire to return to the top of world boxing. However, for many, questions about the future of the American boxer and his ability to fight the current heavyweight leaders remain relevant. Earlier, meanwhile, the reasons why Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk stopped cooperating with his promoter were made public. These events added new details to his career path, which also attracted the attention of fans and boxing experts.
