Boxing formal heavyweight champion Wilder reveals he is from Nigeria

It is not immediately clear if Wilder’s realisation of his roots informed his moniker, “Bronze Bomber.

Former World Boxing Champion Deontay Wilder has disclosed that he has traced his roots to Edo State, Nigeria.

I want to go back and learn more about my culture and information with things about me,” says the Bronze Bomber in a viral YouTube video seen by Peoples Gazette on Saturday.

Mr Wilder, who has never been to Nigeria, said he wants to return to Edo state in Nigeria to learn a little more about his roots.

Once I’m done with what I’m doing, I’m going back to see my tribe Edo,” Wilder said.

I want to see my culture and my ancestors and learn a lot of things. We all have lots of things that we are connected to that we know nothing about. I’ll love to go there and do research about my roots and my tribe,”
