Deontay Wilder Finds it ironic to be called the Boxing Ambassador of Peace

Wilder had a unique and rather ironic take on being declared the Boxing Ambassador of Peace, stating, “Everything is just amazing. To name me the boxing ambassador of peace and my profession is so opposite of peace. I knock men out. I knock their brains out. They are all over the canvas and their body does weird things once that happens. And I am also the ambassador of peace. Outside of the ring, I am a peaceful man. I am the type of person to motivate you, inspire you to do great things.” As fans, we know that’s absolutely true.

Establishing and maintaining an astonishing boxing record consisting of 41 wins, 0 losses, and 1 draw is not everyone’s cup of tea, and the wins just keep adding. Of course, Wilder vs. Fury 2 does have people thinking twice, but who knows what’s to come?

Despite all his respect in the ring, what really sets him apart is who he is outside the ring. Ranging from his humble beginnings and spirituality to his demeanor, there are various reasons behind why there can’t be an alternative for the holder of this prestigious title. He has always been a bearer and propagator of respect and for everyone, including his opponents, thus making him best suited for being entitled to the Ambassador of Peace.
