Deontay Wilder will return to heavyweight boxing after his trilogy defeats to Tyson Fury and will look to become world champion once again with the Gypsy King out of the picture. After defeating Wilder twice, before defeating Dillian Whyte at Wembley and announcing his retirement from boxing.
Wilder' s defeats to Fury were the only two losses in his career - with an outstanding 42-2-1 record with 41 knockouts. He took Fury all the way in his bouts, knocking him down four times and coming so close to knocking the Gypsy King out. And although he's still at the top of his level, Wilder admitted that he had strongly been considering retirement.
"It's mixed feelings because ultimately I have accomplished all my goals in this sport. I told my daughter when she was one-year-old that I'd be a champion and I'd be able to support her beyond her belief," he told Kevin Hart on an episode of Cold As Balls on the Laugh Out Loud Network.
