Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder is back in the ring for the first time in 2025. Wilder is taking on Tyrrell Herndon in the main event on Friday night in Wichita, Kansas, at Koch Arena.
I have all of the results from the event. The most recent result will be just below.
Deontay Wilder vs. Tyrrell Herndon Results
These two heavyweights are not impressing the crowd. Boos are raining down in the second round.
Deontay Wilder's Return
Wilder is headlining a card built around his comeback moment. While we wait to see if the Bronze Bomber is still capable of sinking opponents with his huge right hand, fans (and I'm not sure how many of them there are) are tuning in to PPV.com and other outlets for what could be a pivotal night in Wilder's career.
Before the bell rings, let's set the table.
Wilder hasn't fought since his loss to Zhilei Zhang via KO in June 2024. The soon-to-be 40-year-old enters this matchup needing more than just a win. Wilder needs to prove he is still a cut above the likes of Herndon and a serious opponent for the biggest names in the heavyweight division.
Few expect Wilder to have lost his punching power, but the bigger question is about his mindset. That aspect of his game hasn't appeared to be in the best place over the past few years.
Herndon, a journeyman of sorts, steps into the role of underdog with a chance to shock the world. Almost no one expects him to accomplish that goal. Quite honestly, we're not sure if he thinks he can win.
While he lacks a marquee résumé, he has solid power and plenty of ring experience. If nothing else, he provides a barometer for what Wilder has left.
This event isn't a massive card in terms of depth, but it does feature a few intriguing matchups underneath the main event. Deon Nicholson takes on Devonte Williams in a light heavyweight clash, and undefeated heavyweight prospect Gustavo Trujillo faces former title challenger Lateef Kayode.
But make no mistake—this night belongs to Wilder. Whether Wilder wins by vintage KO or the unexpected happens, tonight could shape the next chapter of his legacy.
I'll update this article live throughout the evening with results, reactions, and analysis as soon as the main event gets underway. Check back regularly or refresh the page to stay on top of every moment, from ring walks to the final punch.
Stay tuned—fight night is here.

Manchester United close to sealing exit for Casemiro, negotiations at advanced stage with top club
Manchester United close to sealing exit for Casemiro, negotiations at advanced stage with top club Manchester United are in advanced talks with Al-Nassr over a deal for Casemiro, as per reports. The Saudi Pro League have been keeping a close eye on United this summer, having explored the possibility of signing a number of Red Devils. Advertisement Before the Club World Cup kicked off, Al-Hilal showed immense desire to sign Bruno Fernandes. The Riyadh-based outfit were prepared to hand the Portuguese a very lucrative contract, but the United skipper decided to continue at Old Trafford. Saudi clubs have also been linked with Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho, with United keen on offloading both wingers. Now, a report suggests that Al-Nassr are pushing to sign the veteran United midfielder. According to Saudi Arabian outlet Sport Jazirah (via the Manchester Evening News), Al-Nassr are close to signing Casemiro from the Premier League giants. Advertisement It is claimed negotiations are at an advanced stage for the transfer of the 33-year-old midfielder, who joined United in the summer of 2022 for a deal worth around £70m. The ex-Real Madrid man attracted interest from Saudi last summer as well but he eventually stayed, and in the second half of the season, he endured a promising form and emerged as one of Ruben Amorim's most important players. He started 10 Europa League games for the Mancunians. However, considering his age and wages, United would be better off cashing in on the Brazil international, who is currently their highest paid player. Casemiro's sale could also crucially raise funds for a new midfielder. Recently, The Peoples Person relayed a report claiming Amorim wants to strengthen his midfield but the club's hierarchy would only sanction a loan deal. Advertisement United are allegedly interested in Bayern Munich defensive midfielder João Palhinha, having conceded defeat in their pursuit of Atalanta midfielder Ederson, whose price tag is considered out of the club's reach.

Paul dominates Chavez and calls out big names
Jake Paul (right) won his 12th pro boxing fight and said he would target a world title shot [Getty Images] Influencer-turned-boxer Jake Paul outpointed Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, who looked lost and refused to fight back for most of the cruiserweight contest in California, before calling out some of the sport's biggest names. Chavez barely threw a punch in the early rounds. His father, the legendary Julio Cesar Chavez Sr, looked deflated and irate at ringside. Advertisement Chavez Jr, the 39-year-old former middleweight world champion, became a sitting duck behind a high guard as Paul, 28, controlled the fight with jabs and hooks to the head and body. American Paul, who outpointed a 58-year-old Mike Tyson in November, was awarded a unanimous decision with scores of 99-91, 97-93, and 98-92. He cupped his ears as jeers rained down from the sold-out Honda Center in Anaheim. "All the boos are words, but actions speak louder than words," Paul said, telling the crowd to "shut up", with some expletives. "It was flawless. I think I only got hit 10 times," he added. "He's been in with [Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez] and all those guys, and I embarrassed him like that. Easy work." Advertisement The victory raises familiar questions about the level of Paul's opponents and his place in professional boxing. The Chavez who stepped into the ring was a far cry from the Mexican who won a world title over a decade ago. It was the same Chavez who lost in 2021 to 46-year-old former UFC star Anderson Silva, whom Paul defeated a year later. It was a Chavez who has struggled with discipline and motivation for large parts of his career. Paul, who rose to fame on social media, has now won 12 pro fights, with his sole loss coming to Tommy Fury in 2023. Paul said he is ready to challenge WBA champion Gilberto Ramirez or WBC belt-holder Badou Jack. While boxing purists view a title shot as the culmination of years of relentless hard work, dedication and climbing the ranks, it is not entirely far-fetched to imagine Paul landing one. Advertisement Both the WBA and WBC have hinted they could soon include him in their rankings, opening the door to a possible shot at a world title. After his seventh loss in 61 professional bouts, Chavez (left) said he plans to continue boxing [Getty Images] Paul dominates as Chavez shows little fight A tense Chavez took deep, steadying breaths before being serenaded to the ring by a mariachi band. Meanwhile, Paul danced with his brother Logan in the dressing room, carrying that energy into his ring walk. Chavez boxed on the back foot as Paul connected with body shots in the first round. He was already a shadow of the fighter who won a world title in 2011, stopped Irishman Andy Lee a decade ago and went the distance with superstar Alvarez in 2017. Advertisement Chavez's corner urged him to "let his hands go" but he stared vacantly into the distance. Plagued by weight struggles, substance abuse and a lack of motivation, he showed little fight. The boos grew louder as he did nothing to silence critics who claimed he was simply there for a payday. Chavez Sr looked distraught, throwing his hands in the air, desperately urging his son to find his fire. Paul has clearly improved since his loss to Fury, showing a crisper jab and higher work-rate. But when he selects aging fighters like Chavez and Tyson who refuse to fight back, it is easier to showcase those improvements. Advertisement Chavez's best moments came in the ninth round when he landed an uppercut and right hook. He walked back to his corner celebrating as if he had won the fight, hands raised. He took the final round with some power punches but seemed resigned to defeat at the bell. Paul was congratulated his opponent's father, three-weight world champion Julio Cesar Chavez Sr (right) [Getty Images] What's next for Paul? Paul said he wants "tougher fighters", but his callouts often ignore weight classes. He outrageously named former heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and lightweight world champion Gervonta 'Tank' Davis as possible opponents. Earlier this week WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman said Paul could be considered for a ranking if he beat Chavez. Under WBC rules, a fighter must be inside the top 15 to qualify for a world title shot. Advertisement For context, British champion Viddal Riley ranks 15th, while Team GB Olympian Cheavon Clarke is 19th. Should Ohio's Paul be ranked above them? Sporting logic says no. But in today's boxing landscape, it is not impossible. Paul has also suggested the WBA may rank him. The WBA considers fight history, activity and competition level when ranking fighters. To his credit, Paul has brought a new audience to boxing, supported women fighters through his Most Valuable Promotions and shown serious commitment to training. But that alone does not justify a world title shot. To earn genuine respect in boxing, he must move beyond faded names and former MMA stars. Wins over Chavez and Tyson may boost his brand but they do little for his credibility in the ring. Advertisement The problem for the self-proclaimed 'Problem Child', however, is that stepping in with an active, legitimately ranked fighter is when the wheels are likely to come off.

Jake Paul tells booing crowd 'shut the f--k up' after beating Julio César Chávez
Jake Paul told a booing crowd to "shut the f--k up" after defeating former middleweight champion Julio César Chávez Jr. by unanimous decision on Saturday night in Anaheim, California. "All the boos are words, and actions speak louder than words, so y'all can shut the f--- up!" Paul said in the postmatch interview while making taunting gestures to the crowd. "I'm hip, I'm really hip, I just beat your boy's a--, easy work, year five, wait till I get going even more motherf---ers!" Paul (12-1, 7 KOs) appeared to be taking the biggest risk of his unique boxing career by facing his most accomplished opponent in 39-year-old Chávez (54-7-2), and in front of an ardently pro-Chávez crowd in Southern California. At least it seemed like a risk until Chávez stepped into the ring at Honda Center and looked lifeless, barely throwing a punch until late in the fourth round of their cruiserweight bout. Even with his famous father shouting furiously at ringside, Chávez fought tentatively and tepidly against Paul, who patiently controlled the ring and landed just enough to win rounds. Chávez first mounted a discernible attack in the sixth, and he delivered several exciting shots in the ninth, finally exhibiting the skills of a long boxing career. But he couldn't seriously damage the YouTuber-turned-pugilist, who jumped on the ropes in celebration after absorbing several flurries in the 10th and final round. The judges scored it 99-91, 98-92 and 97-93 for Paul. The Associated Press also favored Paul 97-93. "I thought I lost the first five rounds, so I tried to win the last rounds," Chávez said. "He's strong, a good boxer (for) the first three, four rounds. After that, I felt he was tired. I don't think he's ready for the champions, but he's a good fighter." Chávez, who has fought just once since 2021, is best known for failing to maximize the potential in his father's genetics. He is still the most credible boxer by far to share the ring with Paul, who is now 5 1/2 years and 13 fights into his lucrative fighting career.
