Veteran Tyrrell Anthony Herndon says he comes to “present” his skills to defeat the former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder on June 27 in their fight at the Charles Koch Arena in Wichita, in Kansas.
Companion label
The Herndon, originally from San Antonio, a native of Texas (24-5, 14 KB), is labeled as a “tramp” or a “companion” by certain people since the announcement that he would be Wilder’s opponent (43-4-1, 42 KOS) in what many consider a last type of fight for the fight for the “bronze bomber”.
Herndon admits that he thought that a “companion” was someone who came from the United Kingdom and went abroad to fight in the United States rather than a reliable but not exceptional fighter. With five defeats, Hernandez, 37, is not exceptional, especially when you look at some of the guys for whom he has lost.
The real problem is that Herndon never beat a notable opposition during his ten -year professional career. All his victories came against obscure fighters, of which even hardcore boxing fans have never heard. So you can say that his real album entering the wilder combat is 0-5 Instead of 24-5 because it is not proven.
Herndon’s five career defeats
– Richard Torrez JR
– Corey Barlow- 2-4-1
– Brandon Glanton
– EFE AJAGBA
– Shamarian Snider
When Herndon opposed the notable fighters, he was flattened in two rounds by Richard Torrez Jr. in 2021, disqualified in three rounds by Brandon Glanton in 2018, and was eliminated in one round by Efe Ajaga in 2017.
This is the latest Chance lounge for Deontay, 39, who enters the fight with a record of 1-4 in his last five fights and who needs a victory to keep hope alive so that he is used as an opponent for Anthony Joshua or one of the other popular heavyweights.
Wilder exhausted his welcome for the events of Riyadh’s season after losing against Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang. It is unlikely to be invited without changing his career. Unfortunately for “The Bronze Bomber”, it will take much more than beating the herndom not happy to climb.
The upset dream
“That people talk about disorder, I shouldn’t be here, I’m here. I am a ten year old pro, and I have lost five times in ten years, and I am a tramp or that I have seen, I am a jounreyman? said Tyrrell Anthony Herndon to Pro boxing fansReacting to the criticisms he has received since the announcement of his next opponent for Deontay Wilder on June 27.
“For someone who has done this ten years, I am a tramp and a companion. It’s just crazy. I’m happy to have obtained this platform to show what this companion can do. I can’t wait to be.
With Richard Torrez Jr. erase Herndon in two laps, it is difficult not to see him as a companion fighter. It doesn’t matter that Herndon wants to accept the label given to him. He is a ten -year veterinarian without a solid victory over his curriculum vitae, and he lost the three times he tried to intensify. He was chosen as Deontay’s opponent because he is considered a fighter that his managers believe that he can beat.
“We have not left the loss [to Richard Torrez Jr.] dissuade us, and this led to the great opportunity of my life [fighting Wilder]”Said Herndon.” I always had this crazy idea in my head that I would share the ring with Deontay Wilder. People will count me, and I know it.
“They think I come for a money seizure. It is up to me to highlight my skills major on June 27 and to realize what they say to be an upheaval for something I think I am going to do,” said Herndon.
