DEONTAY WILDER hopes to make a comeback to the ring in spring or early summer after Tyson Fury's second defeat.
Following his brutal 11th round KO loss to Gypsy King in Las Vegas, the former WBC heavyweight champion was placed on a six-month suspension.
Last weekend, Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury renewed their rivalry in Las Vegas
suffered a devastating 11th-round loss to the American KO.
The Bronze Bomber is planning to return to the ring once his ineligibility period has ended.
Shelly Finkel, American's promoter, told ESPN that he would fight in spring or early summer if he is healthy and well.
"He is still in pain with his hand, and his equilibrium was off around the third round (Fury connected below the ear), so his balance wasn’t the same.
"He felt he trained so hard, and then the incidents -- no disrespect to Fury -- and he wasn't able fight him healthy.
Finkel exclusively told SunSport this week, that Finkel is planning a May return in the squared circle.
He stated that he was sore, but that he was fine and was at home yesterday.

"He is healing. If everything is okay, he will probably enter the ring in April or May next year.
After their epic trilogy fight, Wilder had a nasty encounter with Fury. He refused to show Fury any respect.
In a stylish Instagram post, the Olympic bronze medallist gave the Brit his dues.
He wrote, "Wow! What a helluva night!"
"I want to thank God first and foremost for allowing me give to the world another side of me that is driven with passion, determination.
"I want to thank my team, my fans and for supporting me through this long process.
"I wouldn't lie if I said I was not disappointed with the outcome, but I have now reflected on my journey and realized that God has a greater plan for me than I had anticipated.
We didn't win, but a wise man once said that the wins are in the lessons. Sometimes you need to lose in order to win.
"Although I wanted to win, I loved seeing the fans win more.
"Hopefully, I proved that my true Warrior status and I am a true King in this field.
"Hopefully, we proved that, no matter what trials or tribulations life throws at you, you can still get up and fight for the things you believe in.
"Last, but not least, I want to congratulate @gypsyking101 on his victory and thank him for the wonderful historical memories that will be cherished forever."
