The famous former boxer, and now a promoter, called on those around him to stop criticizing the American.
Deontay Wilder should decide for himself whether to retire, so he should stop putting pressure on the boxer and criticizing him. Famous former boxer and now promoter Oscar De La Hoya made an appeal to others.
Moreover, a well-known specialist supported the American, advising him not to hang up his gloves in a hurry.
“Okay, Deontay got knocked out, but there’s no need to criticize him and say he needs to retire. He’s going to decide if he wants to retire or not. And you have to respect him, respect his decision.
I think of it this way: don’t tell a fighter to retire. This is a personal decision. Only a fighter should accept it, because it is our income, our love, our passion.
Deontay, keep going, man, whatever you do, whatever you decide. Take time out, take a vacation and take your beautiful family with you. When you go back and decide everything, in your heart you will make the right decision. It’s a very personal decision, it’s life. Take your time, brother. We love you, and you’ve been exciting to watch all these years,” the promoter was quoted as saying by FightHype.com.
It can be remembered that Zhang Zhilei knocked out Deontay Wilder in the fifth round.
Earlier, Wilder’s mother also called on her son to end his sports career.
