Deontay Wilder's mother, Deborah Wilder, called on the boxer to end his professional career. This was written by a well-known journalist and insider Michael Benson in his social network X.
"I texted him, 'Son, we're throwing a party for you. You've gotten older. You've come your way. It's time to celebrate. Enjoy your life. Teach other young guys how to become a champion," Benson wrote.
Recall, on June 1 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Deontay Wilder lost early to Zhang Zhilei. The bout was stopped in the fifth round.
