News about Deontay Wilder

Deontay Wilder (left) could finally be set to end what's been a long wait to fight Anthony Joshua (top right), and according to his agent Shelly Finkel, is 'hoping' an offer to take on the British fighter will be made later in 2024. The heavyweights have been circling eachother for years, with boxing fans eager to see Joshua and Wilder square off in the ring. Despite that, Wilder is set to return to avenge his defeat against Joseph Parker in June as he takes on Zhilei Zhang during Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren's 5v5 event.  Joshua, meanwhile, is yet to announce his next opponent, after he claimed an emphatic knockout victory against Francis Ngannou in March. While it seems he is waiting to set up a fight against Tyson Fury, who will take on Oleksandr Usyk on May 18, reports from The Sun claim that Joshua could return to the ring in September. 

The Saudi's have created another knockout trailer for the iconic Matchroom vs Queensberry super-card that will be taking place at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh on June 1. Eddie Hearn and Frank Warren will go toe-to-toe through their fighters on June 1 with the likes of Deontay Wilder - who will be representing Matchroom - taking on Chinese heavyweight Zhilei Zhang. The 5v5 card - which will take place before Artur Beterbiev's undisputed title clash with Dmitry Bivol - was announced during a memorable press conference in London last week.

Deontay Wilder says his heavyweight clash with Zhilei Zhang on June 1 will be his last chance saloon. Wilder will face Zhang in a heavyweight clash on the Queensberry-Matchroom 5v5 undercard for Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol in Saudi Arabia. Wilder has also been selected as Eddie Hearn's team captain for the night, meaning Matchroom will get double the points if he wins.

The fighters for the iconic Matchroom vs Queensberry super-card on June 1 have been announced, with Zhilei Zhang and Deontay Wilder set to face each other. The five weight classes for the iconic event - which will feature on the undercard of Beterbiev vs Bivol - were released in March. Frank Warren opted for the heavyweight and middleweight divisions, while Hearn chose light heavyweight and featherweight as his two weight-classes.

In what would be a massive Battle of Britain showdown, Eddie Hearn has revealed that Anthony Joshua wants to finally meet Tyson Fury in the ring before the year's end. Joshua seems to be the front runner of Fury's upcoming match against Usyk, where the heavyweight division looks to be unified, but Hearn claims the 34-year-old's next immediate challengers are both brothers.

According to Malik Scott, violence wasn't Deontay Wilder's top priority against Joseph Parker, and Bronze Bomber's love for Ayahuasca was the reason for his loss on the Day of Reckoning. On December 23, 2023, Wilder's match with Parker at the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia went all 12 rounds, with the judges scoring the match 118-111, 120-108, 120-108 in the Kiwi's favour.

Kate Abdo's boyfriend, Malik Scott, is 'going after the wrong pundit,' and he's better to direct his ire at Thierry Henry rather than Jamie Carragher, according to CBS Sports viewers. During the network's Champions League coverage, the former Liverpool defender and Abdo were embroiled in an awkward conversation about her alleged friendship with her boyfriend two weeks ago. Carragher made a bizarre remark about Abdo 'not being loyal' to Scott, Deontay Wilder's boxing trainer, prompting the CBS host to reply: 'What? While Thierry Henry and Micah Richards chuckled politely, how could you even say that?'

He believes the money involved in Usyk and Fury's tense title fight on May 18 - a £100 million win for the victor - would result in a rematch. AJ has to fill his days and locate someone to fight before Fury. Filip Hrgovic, Deontay Wilder, and Joseph Parker are among the potential options after beating Francis Ngannou.

In any sport, accepting defeat is difficult, and boxing is particularly challenging in the case of fighters who suffer such lows after a knockout loss. Any boxers are able to put it behind them, admit they were second best and aspire to return better. For those that aren't so straightforward, they must have an excuse for why things went wrong. Francis Ngannou, the former UFC champion, moved to boxing last year and took on heavyweight king Tyson Fury all the way back in October.

Tyson Fury has been involved in some of the most important boxing tournaments in history, winning a number of bumper paychecks along the way. Fury has earned a substantial sum of money from dethroning Wladimir Klitschko to his unforgettable trilogy with Deontay Wilder, according to his net worth of £130 million prior to his crossover with Francis Ngannou last year. Despite being upbeat about the former UFC champion's knockdowns that culminated in him being knocked down before clinging on for a narrow points win, Fury's bank balance was also good on Friday.

Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards like more than watching football on Champions league nights, and that includes teasing CBS presenter Kate Abdo about her personal life, particularly her dating. Since Carragher and Richards first revealed live on air by Abdo and Richards in December, the relationship of Abdo with Deontay Wilder's trainer Malik Scott has been widely mocked and teased in front of football fans. Since then, Abdo, 42, and Scott, 43, have offered occasional glimpses into their intimate relationship.

CHARLOTTE IS A CHARLOTTE IN RIYADH: Joseph Parker, who beat Zhilei Zhang on Friday night to extend his undefeated streak in Riyadh to three, has become a fortress. Only three months after defeating Deontay Wilder at the same venue, Parker won a majority verdict over Zhang on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou. Parker, who was reminiscent of his showdown with Wilder on the Day of Reckoning, boosted his optimism ahead of his fight against Zhang.

Thierry Henry was trolled for his reaction after Kate Abdo was questioned about her malik Scott by her CBS co-presenters on Tuesday evening. Abdo revealed recently that she is in a relationship with Deontay Wilder's boxing coach Scott, who also confirmed that her partner wants to marry legally.

Kate Abdo has continued her friendship with Deontay Wilder's manager Malik Scott Instagram-official after posting a snapshot to her blogs on social media on Friday. After having made a joking about the presenter's new love during broadcasts since the start of the season, the CBS Sports anchor previously learned the name of her partner on air by her Champions League co-stars Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards in December last year. Carragher asked Abdo how she had enjoyed a trip to Alabama, before asking 'are we going to meet Malik?'

With AJ initially scheduled to face Deontay Wilder before the American's surprise loss to Joseph Parker, the two heavyweights would headline the show in Riyadh. Ngannou, the former UFC champion, will be fighting in his second professional fight, and he is still searching for his first victory just five months after losing to Tyson Fury in a controversial loss. Ngannou was disqualified by split decision, and he'll now face former heavyweight champion Joshua in the boxing world as he looks to make a name for himself.

After earlier impressing in his victory over Tyson Fury, Ngannou is up for his second professional boxing match against Joshua in Saudi Arabia on March 8. Joshua is fighting to keep his chances of becoming a three-time world championship holder alive by defeating Ngannou in the hopes of setting up a brutal confrontation against the eventual winner of Oleksandr Usyk and Fury's match. However, most of the top candidates have been seen trying their hand at the classic punching device over the years, despite the fact that the heavyweight division has machinations have dominated.

Anthony Joshua has said, "I don't duck a challenge," ahead of his tumultuous test against Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia, insisting he registered to face both Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. Following his second successive loss to Oleksandr Usyk in 2022, which saw him lose his four world championship belts to Ukraine, AJ will hope to continue his slow climb back up the ranks against the ex-UFC star on March 8. Since then, Joshua has won three straight over Jermain Franklin, Robert Helenius, and Otto Wallin, the latter two having to be disqualified by accident.

After a hallucinogenic experience led him to lose his 'killer instincts,' Carl Froch has requested that former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder retire from boxing. Wilder, who dominated the WBC between 2015 and 2020, returned in December to face Joseph Parker in Saudi Arabia after more than a year out of the ring. Anthony Joshua was also present on the Day of Reckoning, with the two men expected to finally meet inside the ring if they defeat their respective opponents on the night.

Anthony Joshua does't have the energy' to win their forthcoming boxing match, according to Francis Ngannou. On March 8, Ngannou will meet Joshua in Saudi Arabia after the British's match with Deontay Wilder ended after the American's humiliation of Joseph Parker at the 'Day of Reckoning' card. Despite losing his only competitive boxing match of his career, Wilder's loss opened the door for former UFC champion Ngannou to face Joshua.

Ekin-Su Culculoglu has shared more insight into what happens in the Love Island villa behind the scenes if anyone is feeling a lot of hate on the outside. The former Love Islander, 29, who rose to fame after winning Love Island in 2022 with partner Davide Sanclimenti, has revealed that if a star had stumbled on a bad way onscreen, producers would step in and warn actors to 'change their ways.' The Essex-based actress, who appeared in a Turkish soap opera before, also said that fame-hungry contestants had 'produced the show.'

After losing to Joseph Parker last year, Francis Ngannou is targeting a future match with Deontay Wilder. After being practically outclassed by the Kiwi fighter, who secured a unanimous point victory over the former world champion at the Day of Reckoning championship in Saudi Arabia, Wilder seems to have been a broken man. After booking an epic showdown against the British on March 8 in the Middle East, the Bronze Bomber was supposed to cruise past Parker to set up a fight against Joshua, but the Bronze Bomber's honour has now fallen to Ngannou himself.

On Friday's episode of The Traitors US, Ekin-Su Culculoglu was betrayed, poisoned, and murdered. The Essex-based actress, 29, came to prominence after winning Love Island in 2022 with partner Davide Sanclimenti, but she has also appeared in a Turkish soap opera. And it's likely she has won over a new generation of followers after signing up for the popular Peakcock show as fans claim she was 'the most watchable person on television.'

INTERVIEW EXCLUSIVE TERM: John Fury is adamant, but Tyson Fury must make stylistic changes to be in with a chance of defeating Oleksandr Usyk, who believes that the Ukrainian is a 'world class boxer' with superb 'coordination.' Usyk is a 'tricky boxer' with a strong sense of logic and fears that if Tyson decides to use the same style he used during his trilogy bout with Deontay Wilder, he would explode like a 'tricky boxer.'

Following his trilogy series with Deontay Wilder, Ricky Hatton has raised concerns about how much Tyson Fury has left' in boxing. Fury defeated the Bronze Bomber in 2020 and 2021 in his first fight with Wilder after his return to boxing in 2018. The grueling sequence had a dramatic effect on Fury, with Hatton hinting that it will be impossible for The Gypsy King to continue fighting for a long time.
