DEONTAY WILDER might never again fight after his loss to Tyson Fury's trilogy bout.
Johnny Nelson, a former world champion in cruiserweight, claims Wilder is embarrassed after losing to Fury. He also lost his "baddest guy on the planet" tag.

Deontay wilder could never box again, after losing to Tyson Fury. Johnny Nelson claims
After his defeat to the Gypsy King, The Bronze Bomber hinted that he might make a comeback in boxing. His team is aiming for a fight against Robert Helenius.
Helenius, however, seems to prefer a clash with the winner of Oleksandr Usyk and Anthony Joshua.
Nelson thinks Wilder might not be motivated enough, as he has already made so much money that he doesn’t feel the need to return.
The boxer-turned-pundit said to iFL TV that Deontay Wilder stated that he was returning to boxing.
"I believe I heard this a few months ago. I still doubt that it. The reason I still doubt it it is because Deontay still fights with a lot pride so I think the Tyson Fury fight really hurt Deontay's pride.
He's not a big fan of our sport, so he goes out when he can. He doesn't watch this stuff, and he's very wealthy so it's all about motivation.
"Look at Andy Ruiz. What number of fights has Andy Ruiz had since his loss to Anthony Joshua? Is it just one?
"And so, this guy has accumulated a completely new lifestyle for himself and his family so that his hunger has changed and so has his desire.
"Now, Deontay Wilder is not wrong. What's changed is that the persona he believed he was in regarding being the worst man on the planet has been destroyed. That was what drove him on.
"So, now that he knows he isn't the worst man on the planet and has all those millions to return to him, he thinks he doesn't have to do it."
