It was the most renounce fight of the year. After losing the bout, Wilder didn’t come in front of the media much. He didn’t even talk about his bout.
On the other hand, Fury took hard preparation for his bout with Dillian Whyte. He faced Whyte after a few months later of defeating Wilder.

Wilder says, “I’m looking to resume my career for sure. I’ve got a lot of other things to get out of the way to come back.”
He talked about his children, saying, “‘I’m taking away from my children if I come back because now I can enjoy my life fully like I want to.
I sacrificed so much to be in this position in my life, to be able to life my life like I want for the rest of my life.”
The 36-year-old American added: ‘I’ve been highly requested for return. So many people have told me to Come back, come back.’ I’d say I’m back by popular demand.
And the business of boxing needs me for sure. There’s nothing like it when there’s a thriving American champion.”
Who will face Deontay Wilder?
Wilder’s last step into the ring last year was in 2021 against Tyson Fury. He didn’t fight anyone else for the previous three years except Fury. From 2019 to 2021, he faced Fury three times. Unfortunately, since 2019 the American boxer didn’t see the face victory for at least one time.
