“Deontay broke his right hand behind the third knuckle and he has to have that fixed next week. He has to have surgery. The knuckle is OK. It’s the bone behind the knuckle that broke. He’s sore but he was OK, he was home yesterday. He’s healing and at this point, if everything is OK, after the hand surgery he’ll probably look to enter the ring mid next year, like April or May.” Finkel said.
Deontay Wilder will definitely make a comeback to the ring. His trainer Malik Scott reassured fans that retirement isn’t something that the Alabama native is considering. “Deontay has set his family financially secure so he doesn’t have to fight to make a living. But retiring is not in his plans at all and not something we’ve discussed.” Scott said.
This is a Deontay Wilder appreciation post. He’s a true warrior of the sport who has shown a lot of guts and heart! 🙌💣

Not many other heavyweights in the division can take Wilder’s right hand, get knocked down twice, and get back up to finish him off. Who Wilder will fight next is very hard to say. However, the smart move is to go for an easier fight to gain confidence and go back to winning ways.
