However, this is not all, as ESNEWS posted a funny throwback about him recently. On the occasion of an event, Deontay Wilder was spotted in Los Angeles in his Rolls Royce.

What happened to Deontay Wilder on his first visit to LA?

Deontay Wilder was in Los Angeles and fans were surrounding him. Meanwhile, he got caught in the eyes of a reporter who asked a fan out there, “Are you married?”. After the fan replied “no”, the reporter asked again, “You are single! What do you think how many dates you will get if you drive this car in LA?” pointing at Wilder’s camouflage-printed Rolls Royce.

By this time, Wilder interrupted them and shared his experience with LA. It was funny, that when he appeared first time in LA, he was surrounded by women, and everyone mistook him for NBA legend LeBron James.

He said, “True Story, when I first came out here, I was looking so fresh, handsome, clean. You know, what I mean. I think the first time, with Audley [Harrison]. Oh, that was me first time coming in camp here. I’ve been many times here before that. First time, in camp, coming here was with Audley.” He further added, “Man, when I first got here man, I went to this spot or whatever. Nah, I was walking by, it was this full spot here and I’ve had these chicks coming at me when they thought I was LeBron James… But I like, nah (x2). I am Deontay Wilder.”
