How long has Jay Deas been in Boxing? Who else has he trained or been involved with?

Pretty sure he also trains Wilder's brother.Think you're right about Deas winning the lottery with Wilder. Appears to offer very little as a coach, I've spent a couple of hours trying to find out more about his coaching methodology, and it ain't pretty. From what I understand he was a crime reporter who one day, in his 20s, decided that his true calling was becoming a Boxing trainer/promoter/manager. Only other fighters I can find who he at least managed are Earl Monroe (10-2-3), and Tim Mitchell (10-3), a pair of Alabama club fighters.

Jay Deas isnt a world class trainer. Mark Breland was a great amateur but he isnt an experienced trainer either.
Fury looked like crap with Ben Davison then upgraded to the Kronk style. Wilder should upgrade his training team as well.Comment

I'm repeating myself here, but I believe when Breland threw in the towel he saved Wilder not only from getting beat up but from Deas as well. Jay Deas told Wilder going into the 6th or 7th to back Fury up then let the right hand loose. That night Fury could have made a steamroller back up and there was no chance, a 0% chance that Wilder, bleeding from his mouth and ear, twice knocked down and gassed out was going to make Fury back up.
Deas, Breland, and Wilder did as they've done for the past 42 fights and it's worked for them until it hasn't. It's the old 'if it ain't broke don't fix it' approach and I fine with that however now it is broke and it's time to fix it. Getting rid of Breland or intimidating him into a yes man isn't fixing Deontay Wilder.Comment

The fact that Dias gets 15% of the purse is downright ****ing CRIMINAL.Comment
Imitating Tyson Fury, really? Reminds me more of the drunken old men fighting outside the local pub on the weekend. So cringeworthy, and no wonder Deontay has shown very little improvement over the years, if this is the level of his training.
