The WBC world heavyweight champion will take the stage at Birmingham's ICC on July 27.

The ShowFighter event, which is hosted by Gabriella Shelby, will see Wilder share his personal story and take questions from the audience.

The black tie event will also feature entertainment, a red carpet reception, a memorabilia auction, a meet-and-greet with fans and a dinner.

The Bronze Bomber has held the WBC belt since 2015 and is undefeated in his professional career.

Showfighter UK boss Andy Sahota said “Having worked previously with both British World heavyweight champions Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua and Floyd Mayweather, it felt right to bring Deontay Wilder to the UK as well.

"I'm excited to be hosting the event in Birmingham, as this will give fans from across Britain to chance to attend."
