Busy times are ahead for Mark Breland, the trainer for Deontay Wilder since 2008. Breland is down from New York to train Wilder before his first title defense on June 13th. For the first time ever, a heavyweight title fight will be held in Alabama. Well, Birmingham to be more precise.
“It certainly gives a homefield advantage. He [Wilder] still has to go out there and do what he has to do. In boxing, anything can happen”, Breland would go on to say.
For boxing fans new to Deontay Wilder’s game, or even new to boxing overall, he lives up to the nickname of “The Bronze Bomber”.
