American boxer Deontay Leshun Wilder was born on October 22, 1985. From 2015 to 2020, he was the heavyweight champion of the WBC.

Drama and arrogance, those well-known boxing hallmarks, made a comeback to the ring in Riyadh when much favoured Deontay Wilder was defeated by Joseph Parker in the heavyweight division. In a humiliatingly one-sided battle that saw Wilder appear to be a shadow of his former self as his technical shortcomings were highlighted more dramatically than ever, Parker boxed calmly and confidently to win the unanimous decision by commanding scores of 118-111, 118-110, and 120-108.
Next Fight:
After defeating Robert Helenius in 2022 with just one round and one punch, the 38-year-old has not engaged in combat for more than 400 days. On the same event as Anthony Joshua, who was fighting Swede Otto Wallin, he came up against an aggressive Parker, who was trying to go 4-0 in 2023.
Parker defeated Wilder handily on points, but Wilder still hopes to win the title once more. It’s also possible that he’s searching for high-profile bouts before his career ends.
Fight Date 2024:
If everything proceed as planned, Deontay Wilder has a very profitable 2024 ahead of him. On December 23, a highly anticipated heavyweight fight card in Saudi Arabia features “The Bronze Bomber,” the former WBC heavyweight champion, taking on former WBO champion Joseph Parker.
Odds:
It is just too dangerous to back Wilder (-600), as it will cost you six times your possible profit. A $100 bet on the 3-way line, for instance, would only result in a $16.67 profit. Too much danger for too little return is that.
- Fight result (3-way line): Wilder -600 (bet $600 to win $100) | Parker +400 (bet $100 to win $400) | Tie +2500 (bet $100 to win $2,500)
- Over/Under rounds: Over 8 (-110) | Under 8 (-125)
Potential Opponents:
The date of Deontay Wilder’s upcoming bout in 2024 is unknown, although possible opponents include Ngannou, Joshua, and retirement. Deontay Wilder was looking to position himself for a very profitable 2024 when he faced Joseph Parker.
