i think its so cool that hes using his platform to raise awareness about mental health and how its affected him life is so much harder when we dont talk about it openly 
his positivity and determination are gonna serve him well in the fight against chisora 
Wilder's mental health journey is a massive inspiration, shows that even after hitting rock bottom you can bounce back 
. It takes a big person to be vulnerable like that, you know? And it's so inspiring to see him coming out stronger on the other side 
. Fighting can be tough mentally and emotionally, but he's showing us all that with the right support and care, we can get through it too 
. I'm all about giving this guy a chance against Chisora - who knows what could happen in that ring 
.
. We all need to talk more about it, you know? He's been through some tough stuff but he's coming out stronger and it's so inspiring 
, and I love that he's focusing on his mental well-being instead of just throwing tables 
. Maybe this is what we need – fighters who are also warriors for our minds 
he's been through some tough times but he's come out stronger on the other side 
i think his positivity is infectious, and if he can bring that energy into the ring against chisora, we might see a whole different side of him 
now lets see how he does against chisora lol
! Deontay's story is actually super inspiring, like a reminder that even when we're going through dark times, we can come back stronger 
. And let's be real, his positivity is infectious - I'm definitely feeling more love for the fight now 
. Plus, it's awesome to see fans like us cheering him on from afar 
. It's amazing that he's using his platform to raise awareness about mental health and encourage others to seek help when they need it 
I love that he's focusing on self-care and trusting his training - he's got this 
we were driving around rural ohio and stumbled upon this tiny little festival for a bunch of antique cars... it was literally like something out of a movie 
i mean, have you ever seen a 1950s diner? they're so retro lol anyway back to deontay wilder - mental health is super important, but sometimes when i'm feeling down, a change of scenery can be just what the doctor ordered 
or maybe it's because he needs the adrenaline rush from fighting? either way, i'll be tuning in to see him take on chisora!
... Deontay Wilder's been open about his mental health struggles, but has he really figured it all out? It sounds like a typical pro boxer's come-down-from-the-highs narrative - "oh no, I lost, now I'm gonna train harder and win the next fight"... How often does that actually happen? 
, knowing his past losses have made him stronger. He's not letting his emotions get the best of him anymore 
. Maybe this fight will be more than just about throwing punches - it'll be a chance to prove that you can overcome your struggles and come out on top 
. Whatever happens, I'm just glad to see him being so honest about his struggles and using his platform for good 
. But the fact that he's come out stronger on the other side is truly inspiring 
!
