Deontay Wilder appears ready to get ugly inside the ring with Tyson Fury, in a scrap that can bring him back the WBC title on July 24. However, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ has shown a few changes in his personality at the recent press conference. Fury and Wilder met each other for the first time in person since their last meeting in February 2020.

While Wilder introduced himself and claimed that he would come for blood in the trilogy, he also chose Malik Scott to interact with the media. ‘The Bronze Bomber’ just remained there, seated with his headphones on. Although he didn’t seem to lack confidence, there can be a few things that can justify Deontay Wilder’s silence.

‘The Bronze Bomber’ hasn’t revealed the reason he refrained from speaking. But we can dig deep to know why Wilder chose to do so. Here’s a look at a few possible reasons.

The Inspiration Behind the Fairy Tale Story of Deontay Wilder

Less Talk More Action

Following a lopsided beat down in the rematch, Wilder doesn’t have much to say. However, he is still one of the best boxers and has the potential to reclaim his lost dominance. Meanwhile, Malik Scott has apparently re-ignited the fire in him.

Deontay Wilder could have possibly stored all his words for his winning ceremony. However, a reverse scenario can be extremely dangerous to his boxing career. This risky situation validates Wilder’s silence in the recent press conference.
