Deontay Wilder lost his WBC title and apparently lost a bunch of fans too when Tyson Fury put a quell on his undefeated run in February.

Coming off of the crushing defeat, Wilder has been in considerable turmoil following his controversial remarks over the loss. Still, to accept the stoppage, he believes Fury cheated his way to the win.

Not only that, but Wilder has also blamed his long time trainer Mark Breland for spiking the water and acting as a double agent.

That said, none of those remarks have been taken lightly as fans continue to mock ‘The Bronze Bomber’. However,  Wilder isn’t too bothered by it.

Being one of the finest heavyweights of this era, he doesn’t care even if he loses some fans. According to Wilder, it’s only a matter of one win before he regains those fans, and he believes in his potential.

The former WBC Champion has billed himself as one of the most exciting fighters, vowing to regain his lost throne. Meanwhile, he didn’t seem interested in the fanbase that’s already belittling him.

Deontay Wilder snaps back at his lost fans

The Bronze Bomber was recently in conversation with Brian Custer, during which, he opened up about all things boxing.

When asked to talk about losing fans, Wilder said, “I am not concerned about losing fans because, as I am concerned I don’t want to brought the heavyweight division how it is with the excitement and the things that I say, the things that I do.

He added, “How they wanna see me back in the ring, how I brought back boxing. How they didn’t even keep up with boxing until I came in…..Boxing is funny because you can lose fan and in the next fight you can gain them right back.”

Touting a return for early 2021, Wilder will be looking to reclaim his lost position. If not for Fury, he still has several options in the stellar heavyweight unit. No doubt, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ will gear up for another KO win on his return to action.
