Warren: "Wilder should have ended his career after his third fight with Fury"

Frank Warren, co-promoter of former WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury, has reacted to the crushing defeat of another former titleholder Deontay Wilder in his fight with Zhang Zhilei.

"I've told my boxers several times that it's time for them to quit. Do they listen to me? That's the problem. If they don't like something - they can just move on to another promoter.

The boxer himself will be the first to realize that the power is gone from his punches. But there's no way he's going to admit that he's stopped being as good. Everyone around him will be saying, "Let's do it again." But that run will come back to haunt you later in life. I think Wilder should have ended his career after his third fight with Fury. Those fights cost him too much," - quotes Warren talkSPORT.

Recall, June 1 in the main event of the evening of boxing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Wilder was knocked out by Zhilei in the fifth round.
