He is听also听a hero to many for听subsequently听winning battles听against听depression and drug addiction听outside the ring,听prior to returning to听dismantle Deontay Wilder and secure his 30th听victory.听
Now he is looking to听deliver a knockout blow听in the听non-fungible token听space as he听releases听a premium collection of items including playing cards and听memorabilia.听听
