Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder is back in the ring for the first time in 2025. Wilder is taking on Tyrrell Herndon in the main event on Friday night in Wichita, Kansas, at Koch Arena.
I have all of the results from the event. The most recent result will be just below.
Deontay Wilder vs. Tyrrell Herndon Results
These two heavyweights are not impressing the crowd. Boos are raining down in the second round.
Deontay Wilder's Return
Wilder is headlining a card built around his comeback moment. While we wait to see if the Bronze Bomber is still capable of sinking opponents with his huge right hand, fans (and I'm not sure how many of them there are) are tuning in to PPV.com and other outlets for what could be a pivotal night in Wilder's career.
Before the bell rings, let's set the table.
Wilder hasn't fought since his loss to Zhilei Zhang via KO in June 2024. The soon-to-be 40-year-old enters this matchup needing more than just a win. Wilder needs to prove he is still a cut above the likes of Herndon and a serious opponent for the biggest names in the heavyweight division.
Few expect Wilder to have lost his punching power, but the bigger question is about his mindset. That aspect of his game hasn't appeared to be in the best place over the past few years.
Herndon, a journeyman of sorts, steps into the role of underdog with a chance to shock the world. Almost no one expects him to accomplish that goal. Quite honestly, we're not sure if he thinks he can win.
While he lacks a marquee résumé, he has solid power and plenty of ring experience. If nothing else, he provides a barometer for what Wilder has left.
This event isn't a massive card in terms of depth, but it does feature a few intriguing matchups underneath the main event. Deon Nicholson takes on Devonte Williams in a light heavyweight clash, and undefeated heavyweight prospect Gustavo Trujillo faces former title challenger Lateef Kayode.
But make no mistake—this night belongs to Wilder. Whether Wilder wins by vintage KO or the unexpected happens, tonight could shape the next chapter of his legacy.
I'll update this article live throughout the evening with results, reactions, and analysis as soon as the main event gets underway. Check back regularly or refresh the page to stay on top of every moment, from ring walks to the final punch.
Stay tuned—fight night is here.

From former players to US Men's National team fans, many have questioned Pulisic's decision to skip the Gold Cup. Advertisement Legends of US Soccer like Tim Howard and Landon Donovan question if Pulisic prioritizes the USMNT as he should, but one USMNT legend, Clint Dempsey, gave the 26-year-old his flowers. Dempsey is currently with Men in Blazers to tour cities where the USMNT plays during the 2025 Gold Cup. In one of the shows previewing the USMNT playing against Saudi Arabia, Dempsey was asked about his favorite players in US Soccer history, and his response raised eyebrows.

Clint Dempsey: "Even though he's young and still has time left. I got to show love to my little bro Christian [Pulisic]." Dempsey on Pulisic Criticism A few weeks ago, when the drama surrounding Pulisic's decision to stay home instead of playing the Gold Cup, Dempsey gave his thoughts on Pulisic not playing for the USMNT. Dempsey was asked about his thoughts on Donovan questioning Pulisic's commitment to the USMNT, and his words mirror the viewpoint of Pulisic's father.

They have a lot in common." What's Next for the USMNT? The USMNT advanced to the knockout stages of the Gold Cup after finishing first in Group D.

New reports from Saudi Arabia suggested that Al Hilal held talks with Messi and his father on a potential transfer this summer.

Inter Miami and Leo [Messi] are still in ongoing discussions aimed at renewing his contract; this is the truth so far."
