Why would he lose 15 pounds on purpose?

from what to what?

Stamina? Maybe he wants to focus on more speed?

[champion4ever]

It's because of the opponent he's facing. This is the best opponent he has challenged since the first Bermane Stiverne bout. Therefore, Deontay Wilder will need his speed and stamina against the slow plodding Luis Ortiz. He plans on implementing a lot of movement against King Kong and that is why he came in so light.

As far as Luis is concerned, there is the danger of him running into a punch that he does not see because chances are he is clean for this fight and is no longer doping. In addition, he's a lot older than what he actually is too. Therefore, his reflexes and hand to eye coordination may all be negatively effected as a result.

Losing 15 pounds in a year isn't hard

[Cutthroat]

He only lost 5lbs since his fight with Stiverne.

There's a video out there of Wilder in front of a huge amount of food saying he has to get to work. I don't think he enjoys the bulking up process and tried hard to get to 240 and couldn't do it, no matter how much he ate. Plus his training has him losing weight all the time right into a fight.

Looks like he lost a ton of muscle. Might be focusing more on conditioning these days. Or he was taking some supplements and quit.

Has there ever been a HW that has went down this much in the space of 1 year? a guy that was already sub-10% body fat? there's losing weight and then there is visibly losing muscle. I don't understand why he done it, he was already fast and powerful for his height.
