Sylvester Stallone Backs Deontay Wilder For Clubber's Son Role In "Creed III"

Deontay Wilder is close to getting a role in "Creed III" as Sylvester Stallone says "yes" to his request just hours after making his interest in the movie industry known.

Wilder told TMZ crew during an interview that he has "true passion for acting" and getting a role in the Creed as Clubber Lang's son will fit in to start with. 

In response to Wilder, the film producer Stallone said "the answer is...yes" when he was approached while coming out of café in Beverly Hill by TMZ crew on Tuesday. 

He said about giving him a chance in the franchise that "I think he has a lot of hidden talents...I think people are multi-talented and should be giving a chance."

However, there is one issue with having the boxer on board with him and it is that he might not be in best position to mentor him through his acting career. 

Besides, Wilder is scheduled to face British fighter Tyson Fury in a rematch sanctioned by the WBC after their first bout ended in a controversial draw.
