Deontay Wilder needs to get back in the ring and do what he does best, which is knocking people out. As such, he is currently training for his June 1 showdown with Zhilei Zhang but his training does not look very impressive. At least, that’s what people on the internet are saying. Furthermore, Wilder’s professional boxing career has been going quite downhill in recent years.
At one point Wilder had become one of the most feared boxers in the heavyweight division. This was when he had an undefeated record and a 100% knockout rate. The Bronze Bomber also held the WBC heavyweight belt at this point which he later lost to Tyson Fury. Across their three fights, one was a draw, and in two fights The Gypsy King managed to defeat the American. This is when his career started to go downhill.
Wilder later made a comeback after his swift knockout victory over Robert Helenius but later again lost his last fight against Joseph parker. This is why his upcoming fight is a pivotal point in his professional boxing career. As such, the former heavyweight champion wishes to redeem himself by proving to the boxing world that he still has what it takes to emerge victorious inside the ring.
Wilder also has to be wary of his opponent Zhang who is in a similar position as him. This is because the Chinese boxer also lost his last fight against Parker and aims at redeeming himself. Hence, Wilder is back in the gym trying to get ready for the fight but the boxing world seems to be unimpressed.
Fans react to Deontay Wilder’s training
Both fighters are known for their explosive punching power inside the ring. However, Wilder has a certain edge in terms of his athleticism compared to Zhang. This can be seen from his videos where he is engaging in extensive cardio training. Wilder was also seen doing an interesting and unique training drill which aimed at sharpening his reflexes while being quick with his feet. Subsequently, fans were not impressed by this and reacted to the video with their criticism.
“Bro has the legs of a new born deer”
Fans expressed how puzzled they were after seeing Deontay Wilder‘s training video. As such, they remarked on how he seemed to be training with a toilet plunger. Furthermore, fans stated that Wilder is still not training to improve his boxing skills and is relying on his natural athleticism.
