Deontay Wilder is one of the scariest boxers of all time. With his impeccable power and wild in-ring movements, Wilder placed himself as a completely unusual boxer in hardcore boxing lovers’ minds. As he had freakish one-punch knockout power, many may feel that Wilder’s roadway to the top was easy. However, that was far from the truth.

Recently, ‘The Bronze Bomber‘, who was in a chat with Kevin Hart, shed some light on the struggles he faced in the early stages of his boxing career. He said, “I was considered as a fighter that just came out of nowhere. Like no one had me on the radar. No one had me on there.”

“Deontay Wilder is on the list was like maybe 284 registered fighters in the heavyweight division. Guess where I ranked, 284. I was the least experienced guy at the Olympics, period.”

The sport of boxing did not intrigue Wilder at an early age. In fact, he laced up the boxing gloves for the first time in 2005, when he was 20. Within three years, he claimed bronze at the Olympics and turned professional immediately after that.

Over the last decade, he quickly garnered massive fame and attention en route to claiming the green WBC belt. However, in his last two fights, Wilder faced tremendous setbacks as Tyson Fury finished him and snatched his prime ‘O’.

Will Deontay Wilder fight again?

In his last fight, Deontay Wilder showed up with a polished version to keep Tyson Fury challenged. ‘The Bronze Bomber’ used his jab to good effect in round 1. He even responded to a round three knockdown with two knockdowns of his own in round 4. Despite that, the Brit ended up battering Wilder.

At this point, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ is recovering from his broken hand and has spoken both about returning as well as retiring. Hence, it is not clear as to whether he will fight and that can only be revealed in early 2022.
