Froch: 'Ayahuasca took away Wilder's killer instinct'

Former world champion, now commentator Carl Froch tried to understand the reasons for the decline of the former leader of the heavyweight division Deontay Wilder.

“I think ayahuasca influenced Wilder’s performance. I think she took away his killer instinct and desire to cause damage. It seems to me that she made him too calm, and that’s not good. Bad decision.

I think it's time for Deontay to retire. He lost to Parker, who had previously lost to White. He is already at a respectable age, has earned a lot of money, and is now dealing with his spiritual side. He has become calmer, but no longer has the mindset of a fighter,” Froch said in an interview with the Mirror.

Ayahuasca is a herbal infusion with powerful hallucinogenic properties common among Native American tribes.
