Everyone remembers the memorable “To This day!!” comment from superstar boxer Deontay Wilder in addressing Tyson Fury saying there was persecution against his own people. Wilder said he’s been in the same position in the oppression of black people for over 400 years.
In a new Showtime All Access special for his upcoming fight vs Dominic Breazeale, Wilder discussed civil rights and equality. He says the “to this day” comment was the most powerful thing he said in his life. He added that he wants to use his platform for good as well feeling good about the impact that comment had on others.
Salute to Wilder on addressing the racial injustices we really do see in America to this day. It’s good to see him take on that responsibility and him dominating the sport. Flip the page to check out the Showtime clip.
