Deontay Wilder meanwhile has revealed that he wants to fight Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, and also Oleksandr Usyk before he retires from boxing this season. The previous WBC champion will enter producing and making music after the fight ends.
Once my boxing career is over, I’m visiting devote my time to producing and making music. That’s where my heart is, Wilder added to what he said.
The American, who hasn't fought since back-to-back defeats to Tyson Fury, has targeted Fury, Antony Joshua, and Oleksandr Usyk after claiming he's still a giant FISH within the division.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Wilder said he expects to fight Fury a fourth time, challenged Oleksandr Usyk to supply him a title shot, and criticised Joshua's stamina.
In other words, I think that there is definitely a clear opportunity of a fourth fight "with Fury", he said. 'Boxing may be a business. many folks call it a sport but it is not a sport.
The heavyweight division is extremely small. I'm still a giant fish within the business, especially here in America. As long as we're dead the identical division and every one still currently fighting, why not? It only can result in that. With all that being said, it's definitely a chance.
Wilder lost his WBC title to Fury in 2020 before developing short during a rematch over a year later. The 36-year-old is now working his way duplicate the and can fight Robert Helenius in October in his first bout in over a year.
Joshua is another heavyweight which will must do the identical after back-to-back defeats to Usyk, but Wilder expects the Brit to return to the highest level, despite criticising areas of his game.
As the case maybe, I just think that Joshua was just very cautious in what he did as far as exchanging punches [with Usyk],' Wilder said. I always forever said it, as I see it he encompasses a big stamina problem.
I think if he can correct that, you'll see a unique Joshua. you will not see one that's so hesitant to throw punches and do things especially when he was near getting him out of there.
I think he was just a bit petrified of running out of gas too quick and too fast and he held back a touch bit.
Regarding Usyk, Wilder challenged the Ukrainian 'to be a person of his word' and fight him, a concept Usyk has suggested within the past.
Furthermore, the heavyweight champion has however been made since it's clear that he has no intention of fighting Wilder, meanwhile claiming he wants to face Fury and Canelo Alvarez before retiring in his home country.
I hold Usyk to be a person of his word, Wilder said.
If Usyk's saying he wants to allow me a chance for the titles then that is what I'm holding his word to.
I always tell those that i do not look past fighters but I do peruse them, there's nothing wrong thereupon, being confident in yourself and searching ahead.
