Five potential opponents to Deontay Wilder, after Tyson Fury rival Announces Return: Anthony Joshua and Dillian Whyte

DEONTAY WILDER will be back in the ring this year, after publicly putting an end to talk of retirement.

After Tyson Fury's brutal 11th-round TKO defeat, the former WBC heavyweight champion was uncertain about his future.

The Alabama slammer, however, recently stated to his fans: "I can’t stop right now."

"I must keep going with my journey. love you guys so much. It's not possible to end it this way. It's not over. "I must continue my journey."

Wilder's decision not to quit fighting opens the door for exciting matches in the heavyweight division.

SunSport felt it was only right to conduct a thorough analysis of potential opponents in preparation for The Bronze Bomber’s return.

Andy Ruiz Jr

Andy Ruiz Jr, a former champion at unified heavyweight, is also looking to return to world title contention.

In August, the Mexican will face Luis Ortiz, an elder statesman from the division.

However, if he can defeat King Kong, it would be logical to fight former heavyweight champions.

Derek Chisora

If Wilder wants to jump straight back into a gunfight he should look no further then British banger Derek Chisora.

Del Boy is always open to a fan-friendly fight - and that's exactly how a showdown against Wilder would be.

Robert Helenius

Wilder, the former champion long-standing, is looking for a fight with someone who has suffered a similar layoff to him. A showdown against Robert Helenius, the Finnish giant, makes sense.

Helenius was the last to be seen on the undercard for Wilder's tragic trilogy fight with Fury. He stopped Adam Kownacki at the sixth round.

The Nordic Nightmare's inept footwork would favor the heavy-handed Wilder. Wilder has had to struggle with fleetfooted opponents before.

Dillian Whyte

Wilder vs Whyte, a showdown that has been in the works for many years, would be the perfect fight - and perhaps the most winnable - for each pair's returns.

Dillian Whyte, a Brixton banger, was made the mandatory challenger to the WBC strap on November 2017, but he never got the American.

A long-overdue battle would be a great showdown, considering the styles of each pair.

Both men have lost to Fury in their last matches, so it is logical for heavy hitters now to settle their scores.

Anthony Joshua

Wilder's biggest fight is undoubtedly his grudge match against Anthony Joshua, former unified heavyweight champion.

This rivalry dates back to 2017, and it is still one of most talked-about in the division, despite the fact that they have never fought.
