Wilder (44-4-1, 43 KO), 40, broke out of a 1-4 slump last June with a rout of Tyrrell Anthony Herndon for just his second win since 2019.

Liverpool’s Rio Ngumoha warms up prior to the UEFA Champions League 2025/26 League Phase MD8 match between Liverpool FC and Qarabag FK at Anfield on January 28, 2026 in Liverpool, England. Liverpool are unbeaten in 18 against Newcastle in the Premier League, and have settled for a draw just five times in that span. Should Liverpool win, however, the Reds will complete the league double over Newcastle for the 12th total time, which would become the most league doubles over a single opponent for the Reds.
