Deontay Wilder, the former heavyweight world champion, might step back into the ring in 2025, and the opponent could be a retired legend, Wladimir Klitschko. Wilder's trainer, Malik Scott, recently hinted at a major comeback for the fighter, calling 2025 "a big year" for the heavyweight.

Wilder, now 39, hasn’t fought since suffering two tough losses in Saudi Arabia. He lost on points to Joseph Parker and was stopped in five rounds by Zhilei Zhang. These performances led to questions about whether Wilder should retire, but the hard-hitting boxer has confirmed he will continue fighting.

Scott believes Wilder’s fighting spirit remains strong. "Deontay is a fighter at heart," Scott told Jeff Bet. "I believe 2025 will be the perfect year for him to come back, but everything has to be right for him."

Rumors are swirling about Wladimir Klitschko’s possible return to boxing. Klitschko, who retired after losing to Anthony Joshua in 2017, has been linked to a comeback fight against IBF champion Daniel Dubois. There’s also talk of a rematch with Tyson Fury if Fury defeats Oleksandr Usyk this month.

Scott suggested a fight between Wilder and Klitschko would be historic. “Wladimir Klitschko is a legend. If he returns, a fight with Deontay Wilder would be one of the biggest heavyweight fights of all time,” he said. “But I’d be very surprised if Klitschko comes back. Fighters like him, when they’re done, they’re done.”

Klitschko has previously expressed interest in breaking George Foreman’s record as the oldest heavyweight champion, but no official plans have been announced. If he does return, a clash with Wilder would undoubtedly grab global attention. Source

Photo: Khabib Nurmagomedov / Instagram Khabib Nurmagomedov , one of the greatest fighters in UFC history, has faced many tough opponents. But when it comes to punching power, he says no one hit harder than Justin Gaethje . The two fought at UFC 254 on October 24, 2020. It was Khabib’s last fight before retiring. During the bout, Gaethje landed heavy punches and kicks that Khabib admitted were painful. “He hit like a truck,” Khabib said on Mike Tyson ’s Hotboxin' podcast. “His left hook, right hook, uppercut—they all hurt. But I made him hit me because I knew he didn’t like wrestling. My plan was to tire him out by standing with him, then take him to the ground and finish the fight.” Photo: Khabib Nurmagomedov / Instagram Khabib ended the fight with a triangle choke submission. He explained he chose the move out of respect for Gaethje’s parents, who were watching. “I didn’t want to break his arm in front of his parents,” Khabib said. “So I put him to sleep instead. That’s better.” D...
