“It may not be the end for Deontay Wilder, but it should be. If it is the end, it is a right and fitting one at that. Saturday, Zhilei Zhang, “Big Bang Zhang,” one more goliath among the heavyweights, banged out Wilder in five rounds in what is becoming the new heavyweight proving ground: the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. In that same ring six months prior, the typically bombastic Wilder went out with a whimper, losing a unanimous decision to a refurbished Joseph Parker. Against Zhang, Wilder was silenced fully. And while many a heavyweight might look up, way up, at Zhang, it was not the beating Wilder took but his bearing that should close his chapter.”
