As previously reported, the 36-year-old former world heavyweight champion American Deontay Wilder (42-2-1, 41 KOs) has decided to continue his career in boxing.
Recall that the “Bronze Bomber” has not entered the ring since October last year, when he suffered a second early defeat in a row from Briton Tyson Fury.
There was no news from Deontay for a long time, rumors attributed to him a deep depression and sent him into retirement.
However, Wilder has already started training – in the photo below he is shown with former two-category champion Badu Jack at the UFC Performance Institute training hub in Las Vegas (USA).

Earlier, British promoter Eddie Hearn offered Wilder two possible opponents from his roster of fighters.
Note that if there is no specifics about Wilder’s future yet, then Jack will perform on the undercard of the Mustache-Joshua 2 show in Saudi Arabia on August 20 and meet with the unbeaten Richard Rivera.
