Following the vicious knockout of the Alabama man many people are with the thoughts of Deontay Wilder’s mother.
Many are calling for Wilder to retire after his KO defeat to China’s Zhang last weekend.
Now his own mother has suggested as much, and to teach the next generation of fighters instead.
Many fight fans on Facebook agree:
If he does call it quits, what a journey.
What a career.
What a life.
What a legacy.
One of the bravest fighters of his particular era.
Who played a major part in the restoration of the heavyweight division’s rightful return to the top of world sport.
And did so in knockout, after knockout, fashion.
