THIS FIGHT'S THE BE ALL & END ALL

Deontay says he's not ready to wave bye bye

DEONTAY WILDER is warming up for one of his final sessions ahead of this weekend when he stops to pretend he's waving goodbye.

"Like a Queen does," he said, as he mocked gesturing to a crowd as royalty would as they pass in a cortege.

Wilder, 38, was talking about what could happen if he loses against veteran Chinese star Zhilei Zhang in Riyadh on Saturday night.

"This is the be all and end all fight," the American said. "Whoever wins this one, they go forward and the loser goes back to the lab to pick up the pieces and has to decide whether or not to retire.

"I've been very successful inside and outside of the ring. If all things go wrong, I could be holding my hand up like the Queen and saying farewell.
