Mike "The Tuscaloosa Kid" Hutchinson will join eight inductees that will be added to the 2023 class of the Alabama Boxing Hall of Fame on Saturday evening in Gasden.
Wilder and Fury already had a three-fight trilogy where the Bronze Bomber came up short. The Tuscaloosa native got back in the win column by defeating Robert Helenius by first round TKO in October.
Now, in 2023, the fight should finally happen. In many ways, it makes as much sense now as it did when both men were gearing up to fight prior to Wilder's first blockbuster with Tyson Fury.
No matter who Wilder squares off against the city of Tuscaloosa will be interested in supporting The Bronze Bomber. The city unveiled a statue to honor the homegrown former heavyweight champion on the River Walk in May.
Tuscaloosa's Deontay Wilder knocked down heavyweight Tyson Fury twice during their instant classic Saturday night but was ultimately knocked out in the 11th round.
