Deontay takes a career detour by appearing on a reality TV show in the UK

Former Boxing Champion Joins The Traitors US Cast

Deontay Wilder, the ex-world champion boxer, has surprised fans with his latest career move - signing up for the reality game show The Traitors US. He will join a host of celebrities, including former speaker of the House of Commons and Arsenal fan John Bercow, in this thrilling endeavor.

Uncovering the Traitors

On the show, Wilder and his co-stars will be tasked with working together to unveil who among them is the traitor. Throughout the day, they will participate in challenging games, and each night there will be an elimination, where the traitors will secretly eliminate another player. Filmed at a remote Scottish castle, Wilder is set to make his way to the UK for this exciting opportunity.

A Change of Pace for Wilder

This career detour comes as a significant change of pace for the former heavyweight champion, who has recently been linked to a potential fight with Anthony Joshua. However, while a location and venue for that match are still undecided, the grudge match may be postponed to 2024, giving Wilder ample time to compete on The Traitors.

War of Words

As Wilder pursued potential fights in the past, he also engaged in a war of words with boxing star Andy Ruiz Jr. During negotiations, Wilder issued a chilling warning to Ruiz Jr., threatening to "splatter" his brain. The intense back-and-forth between the two fighters added to the anticipation surrounding their potential matchup.

It remains to be seen how Wilder will fare on The Traitors US and if he will ultimately emerge as the winner of the competition. However, fans of the former champion will undoubtedly be interested to see this new side of Wilder as he takes on the challenge in the UK.
