When they throw punches, the breathing, the sparring. The heavy bags being hit. All of that – it was a heavenly sound to me.
DEONTAY WILDERWhen they throw punches, the breathing, the sparring. The heavy bags being hit. All of that – it was a heavenly sound to me.
DEONTAY WILDERThis is the hardest part for me. Just the waiting – the waiting to fight. The work has all been done, and you just have to wait.
DEONTAY WILDERI can adapt to any environment or any situation I need to, so I am ready to go to Russia. You take what you get or start crying about it, but I am re-doing ‘Rocky IV.’ I am doing the black ‘Rocky.’
DEONTAY WILDERI will be that guy to change this sport, especially in the heavyweight division. A lot of people have lost interest. I’m the right man for the job… I want to make it bigger and better than it ever have been before.
DEONTAY WILDERI don’t play boxing.
DEONTAY WILDEROnce I knock Szpilka out, I want all the Polish fans to come on the ‘Bronze Bomber’ train as I bring the heavyweight division back to the top.
DEONTAY WILDERI don’t care what you have done before or what you are capable of: if you come up against a guy like me, you are in trouble.
DEONTAY WILDERI’m looking forward to the fighting with no headgear – I’m jealous. I kind of want to go back to the Olympics to experience no headgear.
DEONTAY WILDERAt the end of the day, I am going for all the belts, so I am going to have to go through all of them. And I would live to fight the U.K. guys – even in the U.K.
DEONTAY WILDERMy daughter will find some of the sweetest words to tell you that can make a grown man cry. She still gives me the same inspiration. She still motivates me.
DEONTAY WILDERTo make it in boxing, you must captivate the fans in America, too.
DEONTAY WILDERI’m not playing around in 2016.
DEONTAY WILDERIt’s contagious to do great. But once that one bad apple falls, everybody else will fall, and that’s how it is.
DEONTAY WILDERStreet fight, you just ground and pound ’em. Boxing is totally different.
DEONTAY WILDERWhether somebody think badly of me, whether somebody don’t feel that I should be doing this or I should be doing that way, I don’t really care. Whether they think that my fatigue is being laid, legs are skinny, I don’t care.
DEONTAY WILDERI’m not going nowhere, no matter who I fight.
