Porter not only affirmed his interest to see Wilder back, but also named an opponent for him. He felt Dillian Whyte has the audacity to welcome the former heavyweight champion. However, he later expressed that he just wants to see Wilder comeback, no matter who the opponent is.

Porter continued, “I don’t think it’s me and other fans of Wilder, I think like the general public who grew to know him prior to his last fight want to see him back in the ring. I think there’s a lot of questions to be answered just by getting in the ring.”
