Deontay Wilder wants to continue fighting

Former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KO’s) is not ready to retire yet.

Wilder, 39, lost four of his last five fights. But he is not ready to hang his gloves yet.

“He definitely wants to fight again, for sure,” Wilder’s trainer Malik Scott told BoxingScene at the Brickhouse Boxing Club, where Scott coaches. “Some good things should be coming up in 2025. For now, Deontay has just been resting and focusing on family and his businesses. When you are in the second half of your career and in high-level fights against bigger guys, rest is just as important as ripping and running.”

Wilder last fought on June this year, loosing by KO from Zhilei Zhang in round five.
