Deontay Wilder vs Tyrrell Herndon EXACT ring-walk time: What time will the fight start in UK?
DEONTAY Wilder returns to the ring TONIGHT as he takes on Tyrrell Herndon in a huge heavyweight clash.
Many thought we had seen the last of the Bronze Bomber after his knockout defeat to Zhilei Zhang 12 months ago.
Wilder 's beating marked his fourth loss in his last five fights, with his only win coming against journeyman Robert Helenius in October 2022.
The Alabama puncher's defeat to Zhang blew his chances of an overdue bout with Anthony Joshua, prompting discussion over which direction the Bronze Bomber's boxing career would go next.
Wilder 's bid to return to the top of the heavyweight division begins against Herndon, who is on a three-fight win streak and is out to pick up the biggest win of his career.
Victory for the Bronze Bomber could see him back in contention for a big-name bout in the near future, while defeat could spell the end for the former WBC heavyweight champion.

Hottest start to Wimbledon in 147-year history amid 36C heatwave
Wimbledon is bracing for its hottest-ever opening day as a heatwave is forecast to peak at 36C on Monday. The previous record temperature for the start of the grass court Grand Slam event was set in 2001, when 29.3C was reached. The forecast for Monday could also be the hottest temperature ever recorded during the tournament at SW19. The previous highest being 35.7C in 2015. People queueing for tickets will likely face intense heat and should take precautions. British health officials have an amber heat health warning in place until 6pm on Tuesday July 1 for much of the country, including London. This warns of a rise in deaths, particularly amongst people aged 65 and over, or those with health conditions. Wimbledon's heat rule will likely come into force, which allows for a 10-minute break in play during extreme heat. The rule will apply after the second set for all best of three set matches, and after the third for all best of five set matches, with players allowed to leave the court during the break, but not to receive coaching or medical treatment. Wimbledon organisers are taking precautions to protect the general public and staff, including ball boys and girls (BBGs), as well as players. 'Adverse weather is a key consideration in our planning for The Championships, and we are prepared for the predicted hot weather, with comprehensive plans in place for guests, players, staff and the BBGs,' a club statement said. More free water refill stations will be provided around the grounds, and real-time weather alerts will be announced on big screens and via the tournament website. Five-day heatwave Staff shifts will also be adjusted to mitigate the heat, while 'shade-mapping' will help people get away from the sun. Guidance also advises tennis fans to 'wear loose, cool clothing, preferably trousers', as well as 'wide brim hats' to keep the sun away. A heatwave is predicted for much of England over the weekend and could last for a total of five days. The weather is caused by a high-pressure 'heat dome' over mainland Europe, which is trapping hot air and forcing it downwards. This creates more heat at the surface, clears away clouds, and leads to more sun exposure which further bakes an area. It leads to day-to-day increases in temperature until the lid holding the 'heat dome' in place is breached, often with powerful thunderstorms. A heat dome caused London to surpass 40C in 2022, and the Met Office says the physics behind this phenomenon are common in the UK. 'A 'heat dome' is a term not frequently used in the UK meteorological world, though the physics behind it are essentially what happens frequently in UK summers,' explained Dr Rob Thompson, a meteorologist at the University of Reading. Imperial research has found that the weather in June is now up to 4C hotter as a result of climate change, taking once pleasant summer temperatures into more hazardous territory. Ben Clarke, research associate in extreme weather and climate change at Imperial College London, told The Telegraph that the extreme European heat, which could reach a record 47C in Spain, will cause the mercury in Britain to surge in coming days. 'If the forecasts are correct, the high pressure that is currently over much of western Europe will intensify,' he said. 'This will drive the transport of very hot air from north Africa and the Iberian peninsula northwards, resulting in an intense heatwave over the weekend. 'Whether the high pressure system classifies as a 'heat dome' will depend on how intense the high pressure is and how long it lasts, but this certainly has the characteristics of one. 'The forecasts currently show the high pressure weakening over the UK by early next week (though temperatures will stay in the mid-upper twenties in the south), but holding over mainland Europe into the middle of next week – after that, forecasts become a lot less certain. 'The heat is also very likely being amplified by the low rainfall we've had here and in much of Europe through the spring, as the land is unable to cool through evaporation.'

Toto Wolff interested in signing Max Verstappen for Mercedes
Toto Wolff has signalled a surprising openness to a potentially explosive driver pairing, suggesting Max Verstappen could join George Russell at Mercedes. This comes as Russell, fresh from a victory in Canada, believes talks with the four-time world champion and Mercedes are ongoing. The British driver, who has been one of the grid's standout performers this season, indicated that the ongoing talks with Verstappen might be delaying the renewal of his own deal, which is set to expire in six months. The prospect of Verstappen and Russell as teammates is fraught with tension, given their fractious history. The pair engaged in a heated war of words following last December's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. More recently, Verstappen controversially accelerated into Russell's Mercedes during the Spanish Grand Prix earlier this month, a reckless manoeuvre that leaves the Dutchman just one penalty point away from a race ban for next weekend's British Grand Prix. Such a high-stakes partnership inevitably draws comparisons to the tumultuous relationship between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. Their rivalry, while delivering three world championships for Mercedes, famously descended into chaos during their three years as teammates. But, when asked if Verstappen could be paired with Russell, Wolff said: 'I can imagine every line-up. I had Hamilton and Rosberg fighting for a world championship so everything afterwards is easy. 'There are pros and cons to having two drivers fighting each other hard. We have seen examples where they have functioned and others where they didn't.' Russell's Italian team-mate Kimi Antonelli, 18, has impressed in his rookie season. However, he is under contract for this season only, and has no guarantee of a seat with Mercedes beyond this year. He is 73 points behind Russell in the standings. Verstappen's contract at Red Bull runs until 2028, although performance clauses within his current deal could activate an early release. Pressed directly on whether he is in dialogue with Verstappen, Wolff replied: 'At the moment, clearly we need to explore what is happening in the future. 'That doesn't change what I think about George, or Kimi or the line-up that I am extremely happy with. I want to have conversations behind-closed-doors and not in town halls.' It had been suggested that Russell's Mercedes extension could coincide with his home race at Silverstone next weekend. However, it is understood that a fresh deal for Russell, who is 62 points behind championship leader Oscar Piastri, is not imminent. And Wolff continued: 'When it comes to the contract situation, our sport is pressure, constant pressure, whether you are inside the car or outside the car, and you just need to cope with that. George knows that. 'I feel like when you are put into a comfort zone that is more detrimental to performance. 'He has always performed to the expectations we have set and he is continuing to do so. We have not given him a car to win the world championship, and that is on us. 'But in the times when the car has been good he is winning races, he is always there and you know he will extract what is in the car. 'He needs to be top of our list because he is a winner, a Mercedes junior, and he has been with us for a long time.'
