Renowned manager Shelley Finkel, who handles the affairs of former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, spoke about his charge's well-being following his early defeat to Zhang Zhilei.
"He's doing well. He was obviously very emotional last night. We didn't expect it to turn out like that. I can only commend Zhang, he was better. It's up to Deontay to decide if this is the last fight or not. I love the guy, I've worked with him for 15 years and I don't want him to get hurt. I will give my opinion, but it's up to him and I will support any decision he makes," Finkel said in an interview with talkSPORT.
Recall, Wilder lost to Zhang by TKO in the fifth round. The fight took place on June 1 in Saudi Arabia.
