It would undoubtedly be a big opportunity for the Finland pugilist, who had already sparred with Wilder in the past. Since both have felt each other’s power and witnessed the skills they possess, it would be more of a mind game.

Ahead of the highly anticipated bout, ‘The Bronze Bomber,’ did a media workout. The former Olympic medalist appeared quick on his feet while doing a defense drill along with his trainer, Malik King Scott.

The Premier Boxing Champions shared the video on Twitter.

Despite looking good in media workouts, Wilder again became a subject for fans because of his thin legs.

How did fans react to the legs of Deontay Wilder?

A fan wrote, “He gonna get knocked out if he tries to move and box and think. Its to much information.”

Another fan wrote, “If he squares Usyk or AJ up they’re not getting back up like Fury did.”

Another fan wrote, “Draws one and gets leathered twice and now somehow in some heads he’s this supreme boxer all of a sudden. Strange world.”

This fan ignored the fact that Wilder’s legs are thin and made a good remark. He wrote, “His movement is awful.” 

Another fan mentioned Wilder’s move of changing trainers to change things around him.

He wrote, “Everyone was talking s**t when wilder switched up his trainers but honestly been the best thing for him.”

Another fan wrote, “Don’t agree, he looks to be trying to be something he’s not, he was tired after 3 rounds of throwing a power jab ffs.”

Another fan wrote, “I just wonder why this man skip leg day ?”

Since his legs are thin, it does not mean Wilder skips leg day. In this video, he appeared good on his feet, despite his thin legs.
