Deontay Wilder looks set to continue his boxing career.
The hard-hitting American has suffered back-to-back defeats to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang respectively.
There had been much speculation that the ‘Bronzebomber’ would hang the gloves up, but now a heavyweight has claimed he’s agreed to fight the 39-year-old.

Curtis Harper has a record of 18-11 and would seem like a choice designed by Wilder’s team to gain some confidence although he has won his last four fights.
In 2017 he faced Zhilei Zhang and was knocked out in the first round, however, he’s more known for not throwing any punches when in August of 2018, Harper walked to the ring – ready and waiting to take on Efe Ajagba.
Bizarrely, once the opening bell rang, he walked out of the ring and headed to the locker room claiming he did it as a ‘financial protest-.
