Dethroned world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder plans to keep co-trainer Mark Breland in his corner as he targets a possible rematch with Tyson Fury.
Wilder hinted he was ready to part company with Breland earlier this week following the cornerman’s decision to throw in the towel in the seventh round of last Saturday’s defeat to Fury in Las Vegas.
“I’m a warrior. I feel the same way I felt on fight night — if I have to go out, I want to go out on my shield,” Wilder said. Breland, a former Olympic and world champion, called a halt to last week’s fight at the MGM Grand Garden Arena after Wilder had been knocked down twice and pummelled relentlessly by Fury.“If I say statements like I want to kill a man, then I have to abide by those same principles in the ring of him doing the same thing to me,” Wilder said. “I’d rather die than go out with someone throwing the towel in. knows these things. I’ve said this for many years.
That bout would likely take place by July unless Wilder brokers a deal with the Joshua and Fury camps to step aside.
