Deontay Wilder broke down in tears when discussing ex-fighter Pritchard Colon who was left in a permanent vegetative state after a boxing fight in 2015.
The 'Bronze Bomber' made his long-awaited return to the ring this weekend against Robert Helenius for the first time since losing his brutal trilogy bout with Tyson Fury last year. And Wilder once again showed why he is viewed as one of the leading heavyweights in the current crop of talent, dispatching of the Finnish star with one round using his trademark devastating right hand to close the show.
Despite showing huge happiness after making his comeback, Wilder did have to make a difficult decision on whether to remain competing following his damaging defeat last time out. And the 36-year-old made an emotional assessment of fighters reasons for stepping in the ring, while paying tribute to former super-welterweight Colon.
