After his first-round KO victory over Robert Helenius, Deontay Wilder is yet to enter the ring. Although Anthony Joshua recently showed interest in Wilder, the latter’s trainer Malik Scott perceived a potential “buzz fight” in Andy Ruiz Jr. According to Scott, Ruiz Jr. was “one of the main options” Wilder could possibly return again in boxing. However, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ does not have a scheduled bout right now even though his fans would like to see another Wilder fight.
In lieu of squaring off against an opponent, he is reportedly making an appearance on a new series by the BBC. As per the updates, he is to be also joined by a former House of Commons Speaker on this show. After talkSPORT correspondent Michael Benson shared the news via a tweet, several fans reacted to it. Here is what they are saying.

Fans react to Deontay Wilder appearing on BBC’s The Traitors USA
The Traitors USA is a “murder-mystery gameshow” hosted by actor Alan Cumming. While an ancient Scottish castle is selected as the setting, the celebrity contestants compete for a prize of $250,000 in this show. Besides Deontay Wilder, former House of Commons Speaker John Bercow and Ekin-Su Culculoglu from Love Island have recently signed up to star on the mentioned show by BBC. For many, Wilder joining the gameshow was a bolt from the blue and they are not having it.
According to one fan, Wilder joining The Traitors is “one of the most unexpected and strange things” they’ve heard all year.

Wilder fought Tyson Fury thrice. Since his last bout with ‘The Gypsy King,’ Wilder has not been regular. As a result, one claimed that Fury “sent Deontay into retirement“.
@Tyson_Fury has basically sent Deontay into retirement 😭😭😭😭
