Before his last fight in March, world heavyweight champion Deontey Wilder showed 214 pounds on weigh-in, the lowest weight in the professional career of the American since his professional debut when he weighed 207 pounds. In his recent video in one of the social networks, Wilder unexpectedly touched on the topic of transition to the cruiserweights.
“What’s up, boxing world?,” Wilder said. “You know, I’ve just been sitting in my car, thinking. I’ve been thinking about once I unify the heavyweight division, moving down to the cruiserweight division, taking over that division. I mean, there’s never been a heavyweight champion ever go down in weight. I mean, just for the fun of it, just take over the cruiserweight division while maintaining the heavyweight. Yeah. What do you guys think?”
