Hearn Urges Wilder to «Bring Back the Angry Bastard»

Matchroom Boxing head Eddie Hearn has addressed former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (43-3-1, 42 KOs).

«Listen, Wilder, we’re 100% behind you. Let that angry bastard come back,» said Hearn.

Deontay's next fight will take place on June 1 in Saudi Arabia. His opponent will be the Chinese heavyweight Zhang Zhilei. Wilder is the captain of Eddie Hearn's Matchroom team in the 5 vs 5 tournament. A potential victory over Zhilei will earn double points for the team.
