of all competitive sports boxing is among the most difficult the contact sport is a blend of both grace and aggression and we've all seen fighters dance around the ring but how tough of a job is it find out now on the show that tack was the most unique gigs you won't find in your job search jobs enlisted [Music] Tuscaloosa Alabama is probably not a place you've been to before the rural area has an estimated population of less than 100,000 people but it is home to the mega school the University of Alabama and it's also the breeding ground for the world heavyweight champion the bronze bomber Deontay Wilder the latter is why we're here so we're gonna peel back some of the layers show you what it's actually like being a boxer and show you how to crack the industry before we even jump into this Deontay Wilder is a beast he's never lost and there's only been one person he's ever fought as a pro that he hasn't knocked out he was also a medalist as an amateur in the 2008 Olympics and somehow we convinced him to agree to let me into his office aka sky boxing gym you can hear to learn boxing yeah bro you got me all the way out here in Tuscaloosa Alabama how did Deontay Wilder become the Deontay Wilder that we know today being from Tuscaloosa Alabama you rarely see boxing ever we never heard of it was mostly about football my story started from my daughter my daughter were born with a hole in her spine I had to quit college I had to quit everything so I walked into a gym because I needed more money to support her I looked at my daughter I told her and she was one year though that I'd be a world champion and be able to provide and and take care of her beyond her belief I get my motivation from her Steel and Here I am now what's the job of boxing like I'm always here training giving my body right I'm never out of shape you know but when it's crunch time everything is getting so serious you know I had to separate myself from my family my kids being a fighter we sacrificed so much but I'm a boxer lifestyle just the best lifestyle because we basically do what we want I always think about when I was just say a normal person you just go to work go home eat go to sleep get back up oh God so being able to do what I'm doing now it's such a total blessing to me well I'm starting from here I'm at a ground level I'm trying to work my way up a little bit you think you could show me the ropes a little bit man let's do it I have zero boxing experience but at the end of this I'm gonna have to fight so I guess I should learn how to do that first you look good you look like a fighter look like a bottle if you feel like one somebody to make you one now jump back and forth make sure you own your ball your feet you ready to go now really most people think this is in the legs but you got nice you know saying you good I'm gonna teach you the most important punch of your life it's called the jab once you connect this with face you twist it that's how you cut a man oh I don't even know this is leather all leather on the skin will that's on the skin baby crap you don't mix there you go that's it okay okay okay now what comes behind the jail is one of my favorite punches of all times what makes me famous 439 Cale it was about the right hand that's it killers Bram Oh even era - [Music] that's perfect you got nice palm on there as well that's that's perfect and once you become comfortable you see openings in your body all right I loved it and that's how you become a heavyweight champion the word we're in the Red Room this wall of magic have I like that once you get in the ring this is where the like says it's with the camera all the fans around this is time say I am the champion I'm the best I'm finna show the world and you want to have that attitude like I'm a champion in here I'm gonna teach you the method of moving while punching this way or two while having a composer staying calm the outside foot always your leader there's always like you want to be calm cool have a little swagger with it no me just real con there you go forwards there you go backwards there you go yeah see it that's it feel funny dude yeah that's funny but long as you go backwards and it's right here and landing you're good okay it seems like this is a job that has more risks than benefits I've broken my hand three times I done tore my bicep once broken my finger twice why not just be a guy that goes into an office every day but I choose this job boxing is the only sport staying one night one fight you can make anybody seller in the world yeah but um I think you got a future in this bro now I'll tell it to everybody no future in this for me listen I can't risk get my head knocked off I'll leave that to you but but I appreciate you my man lessons all right so that's it that's day one super exhausted boxing is very taxing on the body and I have to come back tomorrow more training more workouts more everything so day two was a complete workday a bunch of training working out and prepping for my big fight tomorrow boom right there mm-hmm feel better there's a little bit more righty-oh boom working any hands hands [Music] gotcha Thank You Bo Thank You y'all yeah good yo I'm super exhausting and honestly that's about as ready as I can be for tomorrow all right so day three is here this is it this is the day that I fight I'm gonna get my hands wrapped up I'm gonna do a little prep work and then it's go time do you think that the heavyweight division now is as good as it was back in the day or the fight with men's jobs we were trying to get this going and I think it's gonna happen a lot of different ones that wouldn't happen yeah you know you got two undefeated guys you know and that means money you will not be undefeated anymore someone has to go yeah will it be yours unfortunately it would not be I like that I'm just happy to be a heavyweight at this point it's on my life how do I feel I feel good ready oh my god [Music] work time nice looking good there you go [Music] [Music] nice that's how you still around they kept it under wraps about who I'll be fighting this entire time and it turns out it's a Golden Gloves champion named kirik and why'd you want it just have fun stay comfortable this is gonna be fun thrusting Sierra come on up bro [Music] don't be too friendly sorry I'm just a nice guy let's go baby there you go go find your client find your cup is on find your range find you stands there you go [Music] no one has to take this part out there you go you go Here I am thinking I'm getting the hang of it right flowing like a butterfly sting like a bee but then like Mike Tyson said everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth keep your chin down posture your jab the jab there you go there you go I'm so tired I feel like a smoker you sure that was only too many no sir babies milk is people 99 nice hook company watching wow so nice anything [Music] we'll be coming in like that over there jack [Music] there you go there you go 99% of them don't have the guts to do what you just did let's get in the race Thank You Jay I appreciate that that's one thing my mom and dad first and foremost I appreciate you but we take this [ __ ] off first of all most I'm part of myself I just fought the world's strongest man longest two minutes of my life my head was almost punched off my shoulders a couple of times but other than that I was just thinking damn I really want this to be over with I really look forward to going home and never doing this again my lungs are burning I'm scarred for everybody that sound right there oh thank you so much for the hospitality having me down here showing me the ropes I appreciate it all but I really do man was my pleasure you did a great job and now you know what it's like all right so three days and three days out boxing is super difficult I mean it's hard it's strenuous it's exhausting but on the other hand it's definitely something that makes you want to be better I actually got kind of competitive for once which is interesting I wouldn't say that this is a job I'd ever actually want to do seriously and last thing we are obviously in the city of Tuscaloosa the Native American translation for that is black warrior and it's only fitting that the World Heavyweight Champion calls this place you

Step 1: Have a super-powered overhand right.

Step 2: Spam.

Wilder seems like a really nice guy unlike his boxing persona

[u/CombustibleCompost]

Ah cool! Who's Wilder getting taught by?

[u/buffalozbrown]

Wheres that one guy who asked how to punch like Deontay? This is the video he needs.

TLDW:

• After he knocked out Frog in High School the word spread round school
• a few people tried to start shit but he just swung that overhand right and it was problem solved
• Decided it would be a good career. Never had any formal training. Just kept doing left jab> Overhand right
• Chose to fight dossers exclusively for 40 fights so it was easy. Turns out his overhand right is all he needed
• Fellated Alejandro Rochin for a scorecard. Has no regrets about this
• That's how you become a boxer and HW champ

[u/vman_isyourhero]

Wilder's talent, skill, and training is only for him.

[u/[deleted]]

Wilder with the chicken legs lolol.

[u/bozzi16]

Wait, who’s going to teach wilder how to box first?

[u/joausj]

"Grace and aggression" or in wilder's case mostly aggression.
