Deontay Wilder isn’t just a boxer; he’s also a showman.
The WBC heavyweight champion wore a wild outfit into the ring before his title fight against Dominic Breazeale on Saturday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
His large bejeweled coat resembled Thanos’ jacket from the Marvel movies. He had a mask on that showed some teeth-type parts. His crown seemed to resemble the one on the Statue of Liberty.
Fans took immediate notice of the outfit:

Some thought it made him look like Shredder from the “Ninja Turtles.”
