The answer to why Deontay isn’t the star he’s supposed to be can vary if you ask any fight purist or analyst. “Joshua can sell out Wembley Stadium, Deontay can’t even sell out in his hometown (Alabama)” -Dominic Brezeale Even Heavyweight contender Dominic Brezeale spoke on Wilder’s lack of star power in the States comparing him to the current Heavyweight King Anthony Joshua. You would think Deontay has all the attributes to be a powerhouse in America, a gritty Southerner from a rough and tough upbringing, a well spoken, tall and loud man who calls his shot and has so far not missed. In the red corner we have America’s best heavyweight in a generation, “The Bronze Bomber” Deontay Wilder, a man who boasts a better knockout record than the great icons before him, Mike Tyson, Muhammed Ali and Rocky Marciano, Deontay Wilder has knocked out everyman who has dared to step into the ring with him boasting an exceptional record, the most devastating heavyweight the States has produced (statistically speaking) yet he simultaneously is the least popular they’ve produced with many natives not knowing who the Bronze Bomber is. This could be the beginning of a long yet glorious journey for either one of these great fighters, what makes this fight even more intriguing to the grateful audience (which is us) is the point that each fighter is burning to prove.
There’s never been a fighter who’s been considered the best without beating some of the greatest the World has to offer in terms of combatants along the way.
Two of heavyweight boxing’s best on a pursuit of supremecy.
