Deontay Wilder Confident Ahead of Joseph Parker Fight
“The Bronze Bomber” was reminded by Rafael that people were discussing a fight against Parker in 2016-17. Wilder answered, in his usual confident manner: “He had seen my performance, and he ran.”
Speaking about the upcoming “Day of Reckoning” fight card – the Alabahma-born fighter gave us a prediction for his fight: “I’m looking forward to “Day of Reckoning.” He added: “I’m going to punish him.“
“The Bronze Bomber” was asked about his inactivity since he destroyed Robert Helenius on October 15, 2022: “It’s been great for me. I don’t worry about how long I’ve been out.”
Wilder also spoke on the possibility of facing Joshua in the future, and he was positive. He and AJ have difficult opponents on December 23, but should they both come through their respective tests, surely it’s time for Joshua vs. Wilder.
