Deontay Wilder, 39, to snub retirement and announce shock comeback after blowing Anthony Joshua super-fight

Both meant he squandered the chance to finally face Anthony Joshua and left Wilder’s career in crisis.

But according to Manouk Akopyan, the former WBC champion will continue fighting with a return bout set for April.
