Deontay Wilder reveals shock career change for after Anthony Joshua fight involving Dana White
DEONTAY WILDER has revealed he’s eyeing a shock new career – in Power Slap.
The former WBC heavyweight champion is towards the end of his knockout-filled career, which he hopes will include a grudge match with long-time rival Anthony Joshua.
The 37-year-old knockout artist – who registered ten successful defences of the iconic green and gold strap – has already turned his hand to music.
But after being in attendance for a recent Power Slap show in Las Vegas, the Alabama slammer wants to try his hand at the brutal sport.
The Bronze Bomber shared a clip of one of the vicious knockouts from Wednesday’s show with three million Instagram followers.
His accompanying caption read: “Live and in person yo this is different and I think I got a career in it.”
Wilder’s fans were quick to comment, with one saying: “Lmao. Aye, Bro, Chill.
“They Don’t Need You In This. Have Mercy!
Another said: “LMAO naw you going kill somebody.”
And another said: “Nahh man you’ll catch a whole charge here.”
Along with a laughing emoji, one remarked: “Wouldn’t nobody wanna compete anymore.”

Another chimed in: “Don’t do it bloodbath!”
Despite fancying a bit of Dana White‘s Power Slap, Olympic Bronze medallist Wilder still has plenty of unfinished business in boxing.
Chief among his plans is settling his five-year-long feud with former unified heavyweight champion Joshua.
The pair were on course for a January joust before Saudi boxing chiefs pulled the plug on staging the long-overdue showdown.
But Wilder is still hellbent on having the fight come to fruition, taking to social media this week to issue a friendly call-out to AJ.
He said: “Another thing I want to address is a fight that everyone is looking forward to and hopefully happens.
“I’m doing everything in my power to make it happen – I’m referring to the Anthony Joshua fight.
“So Anthony – you’re hearing it from my mouth – I’m here, I’m ready, I’m ready to go.
“I heard some things your promoter said that my last fight only lasted a short period of time.
“And I ain’t fought in a year and he don’t know if I want to fight or not.
“I’m letting you know right now, right here, I’m ready to fight man.
“Get in that ring. Let’s make this the best time of our lives.
“This would be a major disaster if we were never able to get in the ring and put our stamp down in history.
“When people think about classics and great fights, I want them to think about us.
“The silliest thing I’ve heard is people saying you not ready.
“I think you’re ready, I hope you’re ready, so let’s make this happen.”
