Deontay Wilder celebrated his birthday yesterday, where he turned 38 this year. In the past, people considered the age of 40 to be the “death sentence” for boxers, even in the heavyweight division. However, due to the renowned comeback of George Foreman who refuted all the stereotypes and went on to become a world champion again, this doesn’t hold true anymore. So, now it’s to be seen, what accomplishments can Wilder fulfill before taking a retirement from the sweet science.
It’s been a year since the fans have seen the Bronze Bomber inside the ring. Currently, there are many fights lined up for him, including those against Andy Ruiz Jr, Zhilei Zhang, and Anthony Joshua. There are high chances of him squaring up against Joshua. But there are no announcements regarding his next fight. However, in a recent Instagram post, he shared a picture showing his birthday celebration.
