Deontay Wilder Shares the Real Reason He Started Boxing

[@fake._]

He's a down to earth guy who was 21, and just happened to take up boxing as a quick way to get money for his daughter because other sports need you to go school. This is like a Rocky movie. The next Clubber Lang.

Man I wish I could personally thank Wilder. I'm 21 and started to box in October, just like him the only experience I've had in fighting is street fight & only sport I've played was football but that didn't last long. Boxing has become such a passion for me where I've had the thought of competing. But seeing every great boxer or anyone who has boxed, have started at a young age. It discouraged me a little because I felt like it was to late for me. But I wanted to go agaisnt the odds and still train to compete, knowing I got a long way to go wanting to put in the hard work & sacrifices. And seeing this video and hearing wilder sharing his story and knowing now he started at 21 has given me that little extra push of confidence I needed. I thank him for this and have utmost respect for him

Goes to show how many talented young men are out in these streets

[@brasshouse-og]

I don't care what anybody says, Deontay Wilder is a real champion. Even though we saw Tyson Fury work his ass we saw he had all the heart you could ever need. The bronze bomber will be back and he's going to be looking for blood. You'd be a fool to think he's done.

[@mattyf8604]

I swear this is the most heart-warming reason to be a boxer

[@davinstott5235]

Wow, I just gained a ton of respect for Wilder

[@JCMELKOR]

he is telling the struggle he had to endure so casually and straight faced until his voice breaks a lil at the 4:38 mark. mad respect for this man

[@jdjeiwjwjansndjdj1797]

He is real (REAL) champ and he only trash talked if his opponent does Thats why I respect him and have more than fury and Joshua

[@richardbursey5965]

This hits close to home for me. I was born with spinabifida too. It’s inspiring that he did this for his daughter

[@rxjetpacc]

TO THIS DAY😬😠😬😤

[@cameraramblings4107]

Wilder, respect. A father first and a provider, a boxer second. What a great motivation. it’s not like boxing is an easy path. It’s HARD work!

[@MrDizzank]

[@nayden5834]

[@jaleelhunter4260]

How can people not respect the fact that this man started boxoving very late. Smh

[@1Juansfield]

You got to respect wilder after this. Real stand up guy

[@BenjiClips614]

A humble man but an “alter ego” in the ring 💪

[@ytags9493]

year n half of boxing at 21 thats real inspiration this makes me respect guy

[@monteaiken3450]

Wilder win lose or draw is a good human being. He punches like a mother fferrr.

[@c0nstant.elevati0n]

This side of wilder I like. When he is humble and honest.

[@8ooo8ie]

[@DinoAungpe]
