Deontay Wilder Launches Podcast Heavyweight Truth With Dana White as First Guest

Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has launched a new podcast called "Heavyweight Truth," with UFC President Dana White as the first guest.

The Podcast

Wilder co-hosts the show with Kerry KingBrown, according to Yahoo Sports. Tuscaloosa Thread identifies the co-host as Harry Cleveland Brown. The sources disagree on the co-host's name, so the name is not included here.

The show describes itself as a home for unfiltered conversations surrounding combat sports, though Wilder said it will reach beyond boxing and MMA to include actors and people from different walks of life.

"We want to see what their ups look like. We want to see what their downs look like," Wilder said, according to Yahoo Sports.

Wilder closed the introduction with: "You're going to get the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the Heavyweight Truth."

The First Episode

Dana White appeared on the debut episode. The pair discussed fights, feuds and influencer boxing, according to Bloody Elbow.

About half an hour into the conversation, Wilder asked White, on a health level, what his energy level in the bedroom is on a scale from 0-10. White joked that "this podcast just took a turn" and asked "is Pfizer one of the sponsors of this show?"

White then answered, saying that as a result of his health kick that started in 2022, he feels "in every way, shape and form" like he is in his 30s, not his 50s, and that he feels great.

Wilder, who celebrated his 41st birthday last month, said he still feels 19 as a result of his own health protocols.

Why it matters

The launch gives Wilder a media platform outside the ring, while White's appearance as the first guest brings attention from the combat sports business world.
