Deontay Wilder undergoes surgery to repair broken hand

Just in case anyone here gives a **** about this guy: Deontay Wilder has surgery Published: Sunday, August 23, 2009 at 6:00 a.m. Last Modified: Saturday, August 22, 2009 at 11:21 p.m. Tuscaloosa heavyweight boxer Deontay Wilder had surgery on his right hand Friday in Birmingham to repair two bones he broke during a fight earlier this month. Dr. Joseph Sherrill performed the one-hour surgery Friday afternoon with no complications. Wilder is expected to be sidelined two months, although he will still train as usual with the exception of using only his left hand. He will go through physical therapy to regain full strength and motion of his right hand. “He will use this as a great opportunity to work on the left hand,” Wilder’s co-trainer Jay Deas said. “We expect him to take a couple of weeks off to recover from the surgery and then, after that, he’ll be itching to get back in the gym.”
