Mike Tyson tells Deontay Wilder to STOP feeling sorry for himself
Former World heavyweight champion Mike Tyson has urged Deontay Wilder to stop feeling sorry for himself after losing the WBC belt to Tyson Fury.
The Bronze Bomber was 41-0-1 before facing Fury back in February in Las-Vegas. Tyson Fury beat his opponent with a KO in the 7th round.
“[Wilder] feels like giving up, "Oh, my life is over. I've made $90million dollars (£73m). My life is over. Oh God, I want to die." Grow up.” Tyson said during Instagram live with Fat Joe.
“Keep going through it until it's really over.
“Wilder can still make a lot of money. He shouldn't feel sad or discouraged. And he should continue to go out there and fight with a lot of zest and confidence.”
Wilder said after the fight he had problems with his legs because of the heavy costume he wore before entering the ring.
He said (cited by Boxingscene): “I had no legs. I’m surprised I went that long. I had no legs, and I knew I was in for a fight with these legs and the condition I was in. It was crazy. But, you know, again, it’s nobody’s fault but mine. I wore the costume that was that heavy, and I paid the price. I traded the tribute to men and women [for] my title, and you know, as a warrior, I was gonna fight. My job was to fight under any circumstances, as a king, and that’s what I did. And I don’t take nothing back.”
