DEONTAY WILDER has invested in a state-of-the-art home boxing gym ahead of his return fight.
The former WBC champion looks to revive his career on July 27 against little-known Tyrrell Herndon.

The gym has several custom boxing bags
There are LED lights fitted in for effect
And he will do so having prepared for the bout in his custom-built gym dubbed “King of God’s Army.”
It features a full-sized ring, several different boxing bags all with Wilder’s logo printed out on it and LED lights to give a “dramatic” feel.
There is also a lounge area and a massage table to relax in after tough sessions and motivational messages surround the building.
Wilder purchased a £1.3million home in California in 2020 while still living in his £1m mansion in Lake Tuscaloosa.
The American was knocked out last June by Zhilei Zhang, 42, having been stunned on points by Joseph Parker, 33, in December 2023.
His last win came in 2022 when he knocked out Robert Helenius in one round.
Wilder was twice lined up to fight Anthony Joshua but blew his opportunity after defeats to Parker and Zhang.
Joshua, 35, later lost to Daniel Dubois, 27, and has since been recovering from an elbow injury that required surgery.

He is eyeing a return before the year ends as Frank Smith – CEO of Matchroom Boxing who promote AJ – named Wilder as a potential opponent.
Smith told Boxing News: “Do you know what fight I love? If he comes through his warm-up, Deontay Wilder.
“This sport is about narrative. It’s about buying into fights that people have interest in and that’s a fight that everyone would still have interest in.
“Regardless of whether it didn’t happen five years ago, people still want to see it now. So hopefully he can come through his fight.”
