Twitter Chatter: reaction to Wilder's kill coments

WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman: "I have seen Deontay Wilder [pictured] comments which are regrettable and completely against the spirit of our sport. I have known Wilder for a long time and he is not the person he portrays in such comments. His metaphors are against the WBC code of ethics and will be addressed in a hearing."
 
Wilder's original comment: “This is the only sport where you can kill a man and get paid for it at the same time...so why not use my right to do so?”
 
Frank Bruno: "As a former WBC heavyweight champion, I never got in a ring to kill a man.This gives boxing a bad name.This is a sport, we’re not gladiators. These are not Roman times, we shake hands afterwards and go home to home to our families!"
