Deontay Wilder will be investigated for his disgusting comments

Whatever Deontay Wilder was trying to accomplish with his comments this week, all he's earned himself is an investigation into his conduct.

Wilder likely felt like he was instilling fear in the entire heavyweight division when he disgracefully claimed that he hoped to kill an opponent in the ring some day. The remarks were understandably condemned by the entire boxing community, which is still coming to terms with the tragic passing of British boxer Scott Westgarth last month. https://twitter.com/TonyBellew/status/980065393292271617 When asked whether he was concerned about the possibility of an opponent never waking up, the WBC heavyweight champion issued a disturbing response. "I want a body on my record. I want one. I really do," Wilder told The Breakfast Club. "That's the 'Bronze Bomber'. He wants one. "I always tell people that when I'm in the ring then I'm the 'Bronze Bomber' and with him, it's so crazy, I don't really care. "Everything about me changes. I don't get nervous. I don't get scared. I don't get butterflies. I don't have any feeling towards the other man in the fight." A desire to claim a life, whatever someone's profession, is absolutely bizarre and Wilder's remarks have not gone down well with the World Boxing Council. WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman has been made aware of Wilder's comments and has insisted that they will be investigated. https://twitter.com/wbcmoro/status/979913082574061569 https://twitter.com/wbcmoro/status/979913415547240448 https://twitter.com/wbcmoro/status/979918242507513856 Sulaiman might not want to believe Wilder said it but he did. Fight fans have been calling for 'The Bronze Bomber' to be punished, with some even claiming that he ought to have his licence revoked. That remains unlikely but it beggars belief that Wilder would potentially jeopardise a lucrative unification clash with the winner of Anthony Joshua vs. Joseph Parker by trying to impress an early morning radio team with his lack of compassion.
