Deontay Wilder is back in action on June 27, taking on Tyrrell Anthony Herndon at Witchita, Kansas, United States. The former heavyweight champion is looking to bounce back to winning ways and make a point to the boxing community.
This fight is the first of a three-fight deal between Wilder and Nelson Lopez Jr., a matchmaker who previously worked with Golden Boy Promotions and Premier Boxing Champions. The goal is for Wilder to get three wins over the course of that deal in hopes of setting up a showdown with Anthony Joshua, a dream fight that never materialized while the fighters were at the height of their powers

Deontay Wilder vs Tyrrell Herndon prediction
It’s clearly a step down in competition for Deontay Wilder, who hasn’t looked very good in his last two fights. However, those were against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang. To be fair, Wilder has often fallen behind in many of his career fights, only to change it in a flash with his unearthly power.
He hasn’t been able to land that decisive shot in the last two fights and has also been severely hurt in those contests. At 39, Wilder is arguably past his physical prime. Despite all that factors, he has seen much better opposition in the ring than Tyrrell Herndon.
Herndon might have a respectable start against a rusty Deontay Wilder, but it shouldn’t be long before the legendary power is put on display. For Wilder, he doesn’t even need to land clean to send his opponents to another dimension and Herndon could eat something flush very early.
