Deontay Wilder hasn't got a flawless reputation in boxing, despite being a 40-fight undefeated world champion.He's been criticised for never testing himself outside of North America, for the standard of his opponents, and, in Britain at least, for the way he handled himself in attempts to secure an undisputed title fight with Anthony Joshua.Wilder infamously turned down the opportunity to appear at Joshua's fight with Joseph Parker last March - a sign that he was dodging his rival to many.He hasn't helped any reputation with some of his comments, however, such as declaring he wanted a 'body on [his] record' in March.“I want a body on my record, I want one," said Wilder. “The Bronze Bomber, he want [a body]. I always tell people, when I'm in the ring, like I am the Bronze Bomber. With him, it's so crazy, when I'm in the Bronze Bomber, I don't really care."But perhaps things are turning around for Wilder as he prepares for one of the biggest fights of his career against former heavyweight champion Tyson Fury.Wilder was in Belfast for Fury's meeting with Francesco Pianeta last week and he appears to have had a great time."Dear Belfast, Ireland was amazing and the people of Belfast was amazing as well," he wrote on Twitter. "Thank you for your love and hospitality, you guys are awesome."But that wasn't all, as Wilder is preparing to make a wonderful gesture to those fans who touched him most."We did a lot of crazy things," he said. "Made peace with the fans and blessed a couple of families to come see my next fight as well."

Specifically, there were two families who Wilder will fly out to see him against Fury.

"#1 Here’s little Rory Gallagher," said Wilder. "Rory possesses a love and passion for boxing.

"He’s filled with energy and high spirits and wishes to walk one day. Rory and his family will be traveling to America to see me whoop Tyson Fury butt although Rory is a Fury Fan... #GoFigure #TeamRory"

"#2 Here’s Stephen Montgomery," he wrote. "Stephen and his better half and I shared tears and hugs after talking about our kids.

"They share a child together name Jaxon who was born with Down Syndrome but that don’t stop him at all. They will also be attending the fight!!"

If Wilder keeps this up, he's going to really turn the tide on his public reputation.
