Deontay Wilder suffers injury: Wilder's trilogy bout with Franklin delayed
Wilder was set to face Franklin on October 15, but the fight is now off due to a bicep injury suffered by the American.
Deontay Wilder has suffered a bicep injury that will delay his trilogy bout with Andy Ruiz Jr. The fight was set to take place on October 15, but it has now been postponed indefinitely.
Wilder's injury is a setback for the American, who was looking to get back in the win column after losing to Tyson Fury in their trilogy bout in October 2021. Wilder had been training for the Ruiz fight and was confident of victory. However, the injury has put his plans on hold.
It is not yet known how long Wilder will be out of action, but it is likely to be several months. This is a significant setback for the American, who is now 36 years old and may not have many more fights left in him. The injury could also have an impact on Wilder's ranking in the heavyweight division.
Wilder is one of the most popular fighters in the world, and his fights always attract a lot of attention. The postponement of his fight with Ruiz is a disappointment for fans, but it is also a reminder of the risks that fighters face every time they step into the ring.
Wilder is a former WBC heavyweight champion, and he has one of the most devastating punches in the division. He has won 42 of his 44 fights, with 41 of those victories coming by knockout. Wilder's only losses have come against Fury, who is widely considered to be the best heavyweight in the world.
Wilder was scheduled to face Ruiz in a trilogy bout on October 15. The two fighters had previously met in 2019, with Wilder winning by knockout in the seventh round. Ruiz is a former WBA, WBO, and IBF heavyweight champion, and he is known for his power and determination.
The postponement of Wilder's fight with Ruiz is a setback for the American, but it is also an opportunity for him to rest and recover. Wilder is a veteran fighter with a lot of experience, and he is sure to come back stronger than ever before.
