Deontay Wilder hasn’t stepped into the ring this year yet as last fought against Robert Helenius in October of last year. Wilder’s new training video is making his fans hopeful that he’s eyeing to make a comeback stronger than ever.
In the released video, The Bronze Bomber was seen training in a beach. The 37-year-old boxer, who suffered back to back defeats at the hands of Tyson Fury, had a win against Helenius but many thinks Wilder’s dominant ring days are coming to an end.

Tom Green isn’t liking the inactivity of The Bronze Bomber as he said, “This guy has had 2 fights in the last 3 1/2 YEARS!! & Helenius wasn’t even a fight. He’s waiting for a big Saudi payday in Dec, not fighting anyone before that.”

“As long as Wilder continues training with an unproven trainer he will not progress any further than where he left last time. It’s as simple as that. He needs a trainer with pedigree if he wants to improve. If this is the guy who was in his corner when he lost, he will lose again.” Jamo said.
Another user expressed doubts whether Wilder will really be this good when he’s in the ring as he said,” If Deontay Wilder actually started throwing combos like this the man would be terrifying. It just sucks bc when he gets hit he resorts to old habits and only throws the 1,2.”

Ray, however, expressed none of it will work by saying, “Can’t teach an old dog new tricks. Wilder will fight the same exact way for the rest of his career. Weak jab and looking for that one big monster right hand shot. At least he realized bulking up was a mistake.”
Deontay Wilder sends staggering offer to his heavyweight rival for fight
In his comeback fight, Deontay Wilder will take on Anthony Joshua. The British boxer had previously revealed the likely date and location of the fight. Joshua asserts that the battle between him and Bronze Bomber will take place in Saudi Arabia in December.
“That’s what happening. You know it’s going down. That’s what’s happening. It’s public news, we’re throwing it down in December.” said Joshua.
However, Malik Scott, Wilder’s trainer recently in an interview with ES News has mentioned that they are also looking forward to a fight against Andy Ruiz before December. According to Scott, so many big fights is lined up that anything, any opponent can take place.
“Andy Ruiz is definitely one of the main options right now and we’ll see where we land at. In my opinion I would love to see that at the Crypto Centre (in Los Angeles). I would love to see it,” Scott told.
However, Scott ensured that Joshua is still on the menu and they will all get the same treatment. The Bronze Bomber is looking forward to both of the fights this year.
