So, those are the particulars for Wilder’s comeback opponent next up.
It appears to being promoted by some group called the Global Combat Collective — calling the event ‘Legacy Reloaded’.
Interesting to see if the PBC, Premier Boxing Champions will get involved with this in any capacity in terms of getting Amazon Prime to show it.
That information is not available as of yet in terms of broadcaster of the fight.
It is set to take place however on June 27th 2025 at the Charles Koch Arena in Wichita in Kansas, USA.
Interesting to see the State of Kansas getting a big boxing event — not the usual for them.
