Deontay Wilder looks to be in fantastic shape ahead of his comeback fight against Tyrrell Herndon on Friday night.
Flaunting visible abs and a muscular upper body, Wilder tipped the scales at 225.5lbs.
Fight Hub TVWilder vs Herndon goes down tonight[/caption]That makes ‘The Bronze Bomber’ a whopping 11lbs heavier than he was for his last bout with Zhilei Zhang (214.5lbs) in June 2024.
In stark contrast, Herndon dropped 16.7lbs from 235lbs to 218.3lbs.
Wilder (43-4-1) has looked like a shadow of his former self since his knockout loss to Tyson Fury in their trilogy bout four years ago.
After a routine first-round stoppage win over Robert Helenius in October 2022, Wilder was battered from pillar to post in a points loss to Joseph Parker before succumbing to a vicious KO defeat at the hands of Zhang.
In his most recent outings, Wilder has looked timid and gun-shy, but he is hoping to silence his detractors tonight with a statement-making stoppage.
Herndon (24-5) appears to be the perfectly curated opponent for such an outcome.
The Texan is able to overcome journeymen and low-level prospects.
However, when he takes a step up in class, he has almost always been blasted away inside the distance.
Olympians Richard Torrez Jr and Efe Ajagba were able to dispatch Herndon in a couple of rounds, and Wilder is expected to do the same.
While bookies and organisers are viewing Herndon as nothing more than a sacrificial lamb, the man himself appears to be filled with ambition ahead of the biggest fight of his career.

Speaking to talkSPORT.com, he said: “It may seem farfetched to the casual watcher or the Deontay Wilder fan.
“But come the night of, and it ends the way that I desire, maybe the naysayers will say I got a washed-up Deontay or whatever they may want to say, you’re always going to battle them.
“But for me, this is something that has been in the works forever, and I’m going to go out there and do what I know I am capable of doing at the highest fashion…
“In my crazy mind, this is something I envisage doing. I have been playing those clips in my head.
“People say I shouldn’t be here, but I am here, and I get to do the unthinkable.”
