He stated that he would rather keep himself safe than regret not doing anything about his safety later. Hence, days after the unfortunate incident, fans’ delight knew no bounds as they found him getting busy with rigorous training.

Wilder’s trainer, Malik Scott, shared a brief clip of Wilder and his training on the mitts today. He looked sharp and powerful while executing combinations and swift-footed as he bobbed and swayed in tandem with Scott’s hands. The ace trainer wrote, “The work still must be done because there’s so much more to obtain. 💣🥊 “2X Heavyweight Champion” @bronzebomber @brickhouseboxingclub #Oddguyboxing.” It didn’t take much time for ardent fans to share their emotions.
