He has fought only once in almost two years but the famously big-hitting Deontay Wilder is promising to return to the ring again soon and has warned ‘nobody is safe.’
The Alabama heavyweight has taken plenty of time out since the second of two bruising losses to Tyson Fury in 2020 and 2021. Since then he has had less than one round of boxing which saw him knock out Robert Helenius in the first back in October last year.
In the meantime, ‘The Bronze’ Bomber’ has been speaking to Frenzee Broadcasting about why he has struggled to find opponents.
“I’ve had a lot of people run throughout my career cause of the power I possess.”
Wilder claimed the reason behind the inactivity is down to other fighters being scared to face him.
“People put things out there to make it out like they not running or not scared. But in reality, they scared. I got a lot of guys right now, we could have made great money but they dodged it. They don’t know I know.”
He refused to be drawn on specific names but had one final warning for all his heavyweight peers.
“Deep down in they heart, they know who it is. But it’s all good though because at this moment in time nobody is safe.
I think I’ve got three more years left but I’m gunna bless the world my last three years with some of the best fights they ever seen, the people they want. As long as they don’t run. We got them.”
A fight with Joshua would sure be a great start to Wilder’s final run.
