The WBC world heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder caused quite a stir recently when he made the insensitive comment that he would like to accomplish the feat of ending the life of an opponent while in battle.
The outlandish and brazen Alabama native doesn’t help himself trying to achieve his sought after goal of more public acclaim and recognition.
The 40-0 32-year-old knockout sensation now has discussed what it means to be able to have the talent to knock an opponent unconscious.

Wilder has now likened his knockout streak to being like murder.
‘The Bronze Bomber’ now says he has gradually felt less and less remorse for his actions over the course of his career.
“It’s like being a killer. It’s like the first time you murder, you think about it a little bit.
“The second time, there’s less feeling. The third time, you don’t even need a discussion.
“The cycle repeats itself so much that I don’t have a feeling towards it.”
Deontay Wilder also touched on his last performance in the ring. Wilder was faced with undoubtedly the toughest opponent he had faced thus far in the ring in the form of seasoned Cuban southpaw, Luis Ortiz.

Wilder overcame some of the toughest moments of his career when he was assaulted by a barrage of blows in the seventh round of that fight.
‘The Bronze Bomber’ recovered and composed himself to secure a stoppage of the previously undefeated Cuban in the tenth round.
There’s so many things that you can see from an opponent just reading them and you’ll see weakness as you create it there for them;” Wilder said.
“When they start making mistakes, you might record it or whatever until we get to that point and then they’ll start slowing down a little bit.”
“Maybe they start doing something that they weren’t at first.”
“Then that will indicate to you that it is coming up. You don’t know when it’s coming – but it is coming.
“And when it comes, can you withstand the storm?”

Following the last time, Wilder touched on the topic of death in the midst of battle, the unified IBO, IBF and WBA world heavyweight champion Joshua said that he hopes a situation like that never happens to him.
“I just hope it doesn’t happen to someone. [This sort of talk] is not good for the sport at all;” Joshua said.
It’s not nice to write about, is it? Once a life’s gone, you can’t get it back.”
