The recent altercations between Deontay Wilder, and his former trainer Mark Breland, have garnered different opinions from the combat community. Several people have demeaned the former WBC champion for his accusations of Breland. However, Wilder seems unbothered with those criticisms and has continued to express his disregard for Breland.

Following his loss to Tyson Fury, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ blamed Mark Breland for spiking his water and throwing in the towel too early. Subsequently, he handed the trainer his marching orders. He further denounced the American trainer in several interviews. In response, Breland fired back at ‘The Bronze Bomber’ and turned the relationship even dirtier.

That said, former UFC contender, Brendan Schaub, has also dived into the subject with his opinion. Schaub hasn’t taken anyone’s side. Instead, he has ridiculed the entire act for the sake of the sport.

Speaking on Below the Belt Clips, he said, “It’s just dark he hates to see that s*** man. All the sh*** those guys have been through, coaches and their fighters are so close. They are staying at hotels together, they are going through training camp together, you both are sacrificing your family life together. So there’s this bond, so for them to sh** on each other is just, that’s vile s*** man.”
