Dana White and Deontay Wilder delivered one of the most memorable podcast moments in recent years yesterday.
UFC boss White is a regular interviewee on podcasts, and often repeats the same talking points and historical stories of which most fight fans are well aware. This, of course, is to attract a wider audience to the sport but can get tedious for hardcores looking for new moments.
This time around it took the former heavyweight world champion just one episode to give viewers a whole new look at White – whether they wanted it or not. The boxing legend is working with White on his next fight against Jai Opetaia, which takes place on the Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua undercard.
Last night, Deontay Wilder launched his new podcast ‘Heavyweight Truth’ with a blockbuster guest; UFC CEO Dana White. The pair talked fights, feuds and even influencer boxing in a lengthy chat – but one moment got the internet’s attention.
About half an hour into their chat – seemingly out of nowhere – Wilder asked White ‘on a health level’ what his ‘energy level in the bedroom’ is on a scale from 0-10. It seemed to baffle his guest, who joked that ‘this podcast just took a turn’ and asked ‘is Pfizer one of the sponsors of this show?’
However, he did actually proceed to give a legitimate answer. He told Wilder that as a result of his health kick that started in 2022 “Honestly, with the whole longevity thing and all this s— that I’ve been doing, I in every way, shape and form feel like I’m in my 30s, not my 50s. I feel great.”
The boxer then noted that in his own life, despite celebrating his 41st birthday last month he ‘still feels 19’ as a result of his own health protocols.
