Following the WBC title loss against Tyson Fury, Deontay Wilder has received mixed reactions from the combat community. While several people have belittled him, many are still in his corner.
Being one of the most lethal knockout specialists in the division, many believe that he has the potential to reclaim the spot on the top of the food chain.
That said, Deontay Wilder has received some lucrative offers from veterans like Floyd Mayweather and George Foreman to train with him.

After the rematch against Fury, Mayweather expressed a desire to assist Wilder ahead of his third fight. However, it seems that ‘The Bronze Bomber’ doesn’t need any help from ‘Money’. Instead, he doesn’t want to have Mayweather in his corner.
While he hailed George Foreman’s offer and also highlighted his relationship with him, Wilder didn’t have much interest in Mayweather, dismissing it as a publicity stunt.
It appears that ‘The Bronze Bomber’ has faith in himself and even though he is looking for new trainers, he isn’t willing to compromise on his stance and attitude.
Deontay Wilder has NO LOVE for Floyd Mayweather
The former WBC Heavyweight Champion recently connected with Brian Custer to discuss his upcoming plans. When asked to drop his two cents on the prospect of training with Mayweather or Foreman, Wilder gave a straight reply.
“I like Foreman, me and Foreman had many discussions about different things and how they train and how they used to train back in the day. I had many different conversations with Foreman.
“You know, but with Floyd personally, I feel Floyd don’t like me bruh. I don’t personally feel he likes me. I think he is just doing this for attention.
“Because I can’t see how a guy have betted against me every fu*** fight, now wanna be my trainer. A guy ain’t had nothing good to say about me since the start of my career, but now wanna be my trainer. I can’t, I really can’t see that.”
