Former WBC heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder, is planning on using an Ayahuasca trip to help guide him in deciding whether he will continue boxing or not.
Wilder recently spoke with three-time NBA champion, Byron Scott, on his show The Byron Scott Podcast and addressed his fighting future by revealing he will use the psychedelic plant brew to influence what his next move is. The 36-year old Tuscaloosa, Alabama native is 42-2-1 overall as a pro and is coming off of an eleventh-round KO loss to Tyson Fury in their trilogy bout last October.
“I’m thinking about doing Ayahuasca,” Wilder said (h/t World Boxing News). “That’s gonna be my decision-making process. Boxing has put a bad taste because of what it’s done to me. It’s dangerous, politics, cheating…I still have a love for the sport, though. So, I want to take this journey because a lot of tribes allow their younger sons to take this journey. They say they want their sons to overcome their fears, and this is how they turn them into men. So, I definitely want to take this journey and see what I see in it before I make my decision.”
