DEONTAY WILDER has broken his silence following his arrest after a gun and drugs were allegedly found in his Rolls-Royce.
The heavyweight legend urged fans to “never let anyone dim your light” in his first tweets since Los Angeles traffic police pulled him over on May 2.

The ex-world champion, 37, was charged with “possession of a concealed weapon” following what was described as a routine stop.
But on his return to social media the Bronze Bomber made no reference to the case – instead treating fans to some philosophical musings.
Wilder was beaten twice by unbeaten Brit Tyson Fury in their iconic trilogy before knocking out Finn Robert Helenius in round one of his comeback fight last October.
And he told his followers how to win at life with a series of deep tweets.
Wilder shared this mantra with fans: “You’re an amazing human being and it’s deserving to be acknowledged.”
But with his next step in the ring uncertain, he also posted: “Certain things come to an end as the years get older it’s called growth.”
He didn’t explain if that was a reference to his boxing career.
Arguably most Wilder’s most heartfelt message was his longest.
The American pleaded: “Never let anyone dim your light. We all are capable of doing multiple things in this world.
“Some people will not like what you do because they can’t figure out their problems but, that’s ok bec many will LOVE & appreciate what you give to this world. My light will always shine.”
