Boxing Match Forecast: Wilder versus Herndon, Odds, Bet, Streaming - 27th June 2025
It's time for a heavyweight showdown as Deontay Wilder (43-4-1) faces off against Tyrrell Herndon (24-5) in what could potentially be Wilder's final bout. Let's dive into our odds analysis and make a prediction.
Wilder, coming off a year-long break, is looking to rebound from his loss to Zhilei Zhang. Despite his age (39), the 'Bronze Bomber' still packs a punch with arguably the most power of any boxer in history. His last five fights have been a mixed bag, resulting in a 1-4 record since losing the WBC heavyweight title to Tyson Fury in 2019[1][2].
Herndon, aged 37, represents a significant step down in competition for Wilder. His rivals in his last five victories have an average record of 7-0-1, 8-9, 7-3, 15-11, and 4-12[1][2]. Some of those wins were thorough, but others were close – much closer than they should have been.
Let's break down the odds, courtesy of FanDuel:
Boxing Odds: Deontay Wilder-Tyrrell Herndon Odds
- Deontay Wilder: -1450
- Tyrrell Herndon: +620
The question remains: will Wilder use Herndon as a stepping stone for a comeback, or will Herndon, a more aggressive fighter, find an opening against Wilder?
Why Deontay Wilder Will Win
Despite potential concerns about his current form, Wilder's power is undeniable. With 12 knockdowns in his last ten fights, Wilder remains a force to be reckoned with[2]. Herndon may have a weaker chin, as he has been knocked out four times in his career. Additionally, Wilder's reach advantage will put him at an advantage, making it difficult for Herndon to get close[2].
Why Tyrrell Herndon Will Win
If Wilder doesn't bring his A-game, the fight could be closer than expected. Wilder has struggled with low output in recent fights, averaging just over three punches per round[2]. This opens the door for an aggressive fighter like Herndon to capitalize. Herndon may even be the stronger fighter in terms of raw power, although Wilder's reach should give him a significant advantage.
Prediction & Pick
It's hard to imagine Wilder being outclassed by Herndon under normal circumstances. However, if Wilder is off his game, this could be a closer fight than many expect. Nevertheless, Wilder has the power and reach advantage in this matchup, making him the odds-on favorite. Our prediction and pick: Deontay Wilder by KO/TKO (-800), Deontay Wilder in Round 1-5 (-260)
