    I think he's been done since Fury 3. But, yes, I have a feeling he will fight again - and probably lose again.

    The trilogy with Fury ruined him. He's done sadly and is better off retired.

    I’d like to see Wilder continue on in boxing for many more years until he’s getting KO’d regularly by low level journeymen on undercards lmao.

    He should fight Joyce. Guaranteed win.

    Most likely he never fights again.

    I doubt he will bother against a low-level opponent, the only reason why he got back in the ring against Parker and Zhang was because the Saudis put up big money. It would take another big cheque to get him back in the ring.

    The only other small possibility is that Hearn might put Wilder in with Joshua as a stay-busy easy fight for AJ, but most likely Wilder never gets in the ring again

    If that's true he needs a different team around him

    I think he should take the Okolie fight. He might win that one.

    He is done at heavy.

    Guessing it's much older than a month given right at the beginning mentions him getting ready for December 23rd which was the Parker fight.

    Tbh I think Okolie handles Wilder pretty easily, he just grapples and mauls him over 12 rounds, and I say that as a hardcore Okolie hater

    I think he should fight at Bridgerweight. It really depends on how much Wilder values the acheivment of being the father of a new weight class and being a 2 division champ. If he does care its a pretty low risk low difficulty high reward way to end his career with dignity. But If he doesn't care he doesn't care.

    At HW hes done. Before the Zhang fight he was in an alternative reality where he'd unify the HW belts by the end of 2024. Said reality has been shattered. From what I've heard him say he is not hanging around for the sake of hanging around.

    He is exactly what he always was, he just can't cherry pick bums for big money anymore.

    I don't know. I have always maintained that the reason that Okolie tied to stay at cruiser and weight bully, and used man-love tactics is because he is terrified from having a china-chin.
