Deontay Wilder has never been one to keep his mouth quiet between fights. Wilder was asked recently about fighting Klitschko or Tyson Fury in 2016 and he had this to say about the possibility.
“Whoever wins the rematch, I want the winner. Because I want all the belts. I want to be the undisputed heavyweight champion of the world,” said Wilder.
Wladimir was the most dominant heavyweight for a decade but Wilder believes he knows why it can to such a sudden end and why the same won’t happen to him.
“Throughout my career, I’ve fought tall and small. I mixed my opponents up because I didn’t want to fall into that trap-fest of getting used to smaller guys, because you can get used to the opponent that you fight. The smaller guys, you can get used to that, because you already know what you’re going to do if you want to bail out – clinch on him, put your body weight on him to get him tired. When you fight bigger guys – it’s different. I’ve been up and down with both, so I’m comfortable with big guys and smaller guys.”
A fight between Wilder and Fury/Klitschko wouldn’t happen until Fall 2016 at the earliest, so it may be smart for Deontay to not get caught looking ahead.
