Deontay Wilder's recent defeat to Zhilei Zhang has sparked calls for his retirement from various quarters, including his mother, Deborah Wilder, who urged him to retire after being brutally knocked out. His father has suggested that he should fire his trainer Malik Scott instead of retiring. The defeat, a R5 TKO, has also led to Wilder dropping out of ESPN’s heavyweight rankings, with Zhang moving up to No. 5 and Martin Bakole entering at No. 10.
