Deontay Wilder Sends a Heartfelt Message to All Frontline Workers Amidst Coronavirus

Coronavirus has taken a toll on the world around us. Despite the seemingly difficult circumstances, there are people who have worked selflessly for the greater good. Ace boxer Deontay Wilder has thanked all such workers and has also given a beautiful message of hope.

“The Bronze Bomber” is affected by the outbreak of Coronavirus as well. The former WBC Heavyweight champion is coming off the first defeat of his career.

Tyson Fury stopped him in his tracks and even captured his WBC title from him. Wilder was hoping he’d get his redemption later this year. However, that was before Coronavirus barged onto the scene.

Hence, this extended period of wait seems to be hurting Wilder. However, he realizes that his sufferings are minuscule compared to others out there. He shared his message with his fans on Instagram.

Along with Wilder, there was his fiancee Telli Swift as well. She is also famous for her philanthropic works.

Deotay Wilder mentioned the Boxing WAGS association in his post. The association consists of talented and diverse wives and girlfriends of active and retired boxers.

Their aim is to perform and support philanthropic initiatives. Telli Swift is the founder of the association. It seems that they have been working generously during these times of need.

Recently, Deontay Wilder was also in the news when reports surfaced about him putting a price for stepping aside for his fight against Tyson Fury. Media reports claimed that he was demanding $10 million to step aside and allow Fury to fight Anthony Joshua.

The news generated strong reactions from the boxing world.

Tyson Fury said that he wasn’t going to pay even $2 million to Wilder. Backed by his performance, the British boxer is ready to defeat Wilder once again. However, Bob Arum later revealed that the news about Wilder stepping aside was false right from the beginning.
