The former WBC heavyweight champion, who won his lone fight of 2025 against Tyrell Herndon in the summer, had been in Dubai as part of the IBA Pro event. Asked whether he thought the contest that sees a two-time heavyweight champion against Paul is a serious fight, Wilder replied: “That’s the part I don’t know. I don’t know if it’s legit or not. You know what I mean? This is the first time we’re seeing Paul actually fight a fighter. You know what I’m saying? Not only is this a fighter, it’s a former champion and an active fighter at that. So we haven’t seen him do this. We’ve seen the Tyson thing, but that was all for fun.
