Deontay Wilder has advised Manny Pacquiao's son Emmanuel Jr that he must stay wary of fans expecting him to be better than his father as he begins his amateur career.
Emmanuel Jr is already a major player in the North Hollywood amateur scene, and has drawn big crowds to watch his very early bouts as he develops his skills under the glare of the public spotlight. He was even due to face YouTube star Alex Wassabi last year at the Creator Clash, but the bout was pulled when Wassabi was signed to face KSI instead.
And he spent time with former world heavyweight champion Wilder at the Brickhouse Boxing Club in California yesterday, where he received valuable advice from a veteran of the sport. He has opted to take it slow in his career thus far, taking on small gym shows, but is already a hot commodity at local shows, drawing major crowds.
