By Scott Gilfoid: Jay Deas, the trainer for the talented unbeaten heavyweight contender Deontay Wilder (27-0, 27 KO’s) wants Golden Boy Promotions to set up a fight between the unbeaten Wilder and #11 IBF Tony Thompson (37-3, 25 KO’s) so that Wilder can show off his stuff for the American boxing public as well the world. Thompson destroyed the UK’s best heavyweight in David Price by a 2nd round knockout last Saturday night in Liverpool, England.
Deas said to Golden Boy Promotions president Oscar De La Hoya “What’s up @OscarDeLaHoya and @BronzeBomber? D’s coach here. Let’s make that big American Showdown happen. You know..TT [Tony Thompson] vs. DW [Deontay Wilder].”
