A couple of days back, Deontay Wilder dropped a slick training video that took the entire fight world by storm. In this video, the ex-WBC heavyweight champ showcased his altogether new version, while damaging the mitts.
Recently, the UFC commentator and analyst, Joe Rogan shed some light on Wilder’s training video. The Canadian TV personality Russell Peters, who also joined him on The Joe Rogan Experience, said, “Oh, he (Wilder) looks like a completely different fighter. I think you could find that.”
Rogan sponsored his thought and said, “Oh, is he like using a lot of jabs in that video!” Peters even asserted that Wilder, who doesn’t just land wild punches in this video, actually looks like a boxer.

Rogan added, “Don’t you think he needs a few fights like that with lower-tier competition?… He’s gonna need some tune-up fights.”
The last time Wilder stepped inside the squared circle was against the stout Brit, Tyson Fury. The pair fought each other in February 2020 for the WBC heavyweight titles. To everyone’s surprise, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ went to the canvas for the very first time in his career.
Not just once, but ‘The Gypsy King’ dropped the Alabama native multiple times in the fight. As the fight progressed, Wilder was wobbling and couldn’t land one significant strike on Fury. Consequently, he ended up losing that bout in round 7 with a vicious T/KO.
Since then, Wilder hasn’t returned to the game. But he has definitely overcome that loss. Hence, he is now looking forward to making an ecstatic return.
Can Deontay Wilder revive his boxing career from hereon?
