“Felt good being back under the lights last night. It’s been almost seven since the last time I gloved up. It’s been four years since the last time I did some serious sparring.
“When you’re always busy teaching the craft and learning the craft, it keeps you in good physical shape.
“Wins, losses, disappointments, etc. I’m grateful for every experience and lesson that comes from this noble art.”
Fans will be waiting to see from Deontay Wilder himself in the world of boxing following on from his trilogy with Tyson Fury as still nothing appears to be scheduled in for the former champion.
