Deontay Wilder has been a man on a mission, as of late trying to secure a lucrative unification clash with the unified IBO, IBF and WBA heavyweight world championship titleholder Anthony Joshua.
‘The Bronze Bomber’ is fresh from making a successful seventh defence of his WBC world heavyweight title this past weekend against the previously undefeated and respected Luis ‘King Kong’ Ortiz.
Wilder has once again voiced his intention has always been to take on the ‘baddest’ fighter in his weight category. He likened his mentality and thinking in coming at Joshua to that of somebody incarcerated in prison.
“I’m going to take the baddest man in the division! It’s just like going to prison.”
“When you want to find the toughest man in there to show to get him to go at you.”
“You got to let him know in the prison – I come in peace,” Wilder told Talk Sport.
“But, if you break this peace, I will show you when I come in the division and get the toughest man in the division.”
Wilder went on to share his belief that he will not only secure a triumph against Joshua, but will render the undefeated Briton unconscious.
“Not only do I win, but I knock him out.”
“This is the fight, the biggest fight of our lives, the biggest fight of this history! It’s going to happen, all they got to do is make the fight.”
Furthermore, Wilder also wished Joshua well ahead of his showdown against New Zealand’s Joseph Parker at the end of the month.
“It’s short and simple. Good luck on March 31, hope you prevail.”
Wilder also shared he wants to make an emphatic statement in that fight, one that could cement its place in the history books.
“Let’s give the world what they have been waiting for. Let’s give the world an epic fight, one that’s going to be in the history books for years and years to come.”
“One that the next generation and the next generation will be talking about because it was just that great;” Wilder concluded.
