Deontay Wilder: Should he retire or not? | Boxen247 with Kristian | Talkin Fight
Graeme and Kristian discuss the future of heavyweight boxer Deontay Wilder in light of his knockout defeat to Tyson Fury last Saturday.
A bit of history, according to his interview with The Sun: Wilder had been a budding high school football and basketball star — but when he discovered he was going to become a father at the age of 19 his career as a college sportsman was over.
He worked three jobs at IHOP, Red Lobster and driving a beer truck to make ends meet.
It was only when the couple were told their daughter might have spina bifida — and with exorbitant medical bills looming — that Wilder decided to get in the ring.
"I was just a guy in college, was on the basketball team," he tells Sun Online.
"I’d do it — in terms of getting into boxing — all over if I had to for my daughter. She’s the one that got me into boxing."
