Preview and trainer split
Wilder is under pressure and has to win. Anything less could result in the end of his career at the top level.
A massive favorite, Wilder should have the power and experience to take Herndon out. Texan Herndon, 24-5, has never campaigned anywhere near the company of Wilder.
The former WBC heavyweight champion embarks on a new journey under second coach Don House after splitting from Malik Scott.
Speaking about the parting, Wilder said it was amicable.
“We’re brothers, and always will be brothers. We talk all the time, and there’s nothing bad between us. Sometimes things change, and this was one of those times,” said Wilder.
Scott stated, “I wanted the best for Deontay. He did things to electrify the sport, and sometimes needs to be invigorated.
“He called me and let me know we were doing things differently in the corner for this fight.
“We thanked each other for all we did for each other. He’s in good hands, and I know he’s in good hands.”
The ex-Wilder sparring partner takes the corner for Gilberto Ramirez on Saturday night instead, with no plans to return to his ex-opponent.
