Although Deontay Wilder chose silence in the first official press conference of his trilogy against Tyson Fury, he doesn’t appear to have changed his emotions towards his rival. The American boxer has vowed to beat Tyson Fury and has claimed that he would do damage beyond that.

Although Fury appears to be the favorite, Wilder’s recent statements reflect his sheer animosity towards ‘The Gypsy King’. Following a formal press conference, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ connected exclusively with ESNEWS, shocking several fans all over the world with his words.

Deontay Wilder said, “I want to do more than just knock him out. You know people know what I talk bout. I don’t really have to express myself too strongly. They know what I want, and I think this is the man to feed my craving of one more particular thing.”

“And if you are fans of mine, or you have been keeping on with me. You already know what I am talking about. (smirked)”

Deontay Wilder is one of the most terrific punchers in the heavyweight division, amassing 41 KOs in 44 pro-fights. The former champion went on a tear before suffering his sole career loss to Fury in 2020.
