Deontay Wilder, the former world champion boxer, faced a tough defeat against Zhilei Zhang, losing in the fifth round. This loss, following another defeat to Joseph Parker, has led many to wonder if Wilder will retire.
The back-to-back losses mean Wilder won't be fighting his long-time rival, Anthony Joshua, anytime soon and is now far from a title shot. Fans are questioning if Wilder still has the drive to continue boxing.
Wilder was a dominant WBC Champion until he met Tyson Fury. Their trilogy ended with two big losses for Wilder, which some believe changed him.

Coach Malik Scott spoke to ES News about Wilder's current state. "He’s healing right now, recovering from some injuries. Getting his mind together, his mind right. He’s resting and enjoying life," said Scott.
Opinions are divided on what Wilder should do next. Lennox Lewis, a former heavyweight champion, thinks he should retire, while Anthony Joshua believes Wilder should keep fighting if he still has the desire.
Wilder is also dealing with some legal issues with his partner but hasn't spoken publicly about his future in boxing.
