Win, Lose or Draw…. Deontay @BronzeBomber is our brother that has accomplished many triumphs and as a community we should all uplift and support him throughout it all. No matter what, you're still a winner in my eyes, King!

Wilder is still one of the top three heavyweights on the planet and shouldn’t be ashamed about the loss. Wilder will invoke his rematch clause and a third fight will happen.

All jokes aside, boxing is a brutal sport and 40 wins and 1 loss record isn’t something to ever be assamed off.
