WILDER in title fight: ‘They told me Usyk was a man of his word’

Former WBC heavyweight belt holder American Deontay Wilder (42-2-1, 41 KOs) He talked about a possible fight with WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs).

“A lot of people said they wanted to fight me, but then when the time came, they went the other way. I asked about Usyk and they told me he was a man of his word. Let’s see what happens if I win.

This is a big fight for Helenius and he could be in a great position afterwards. If he wins, he will become a mandatory contender for Usyk. This is a WBC eliminator. Some of us can fight Usyk more. Helenius can fight him as a mandatory contender for the WBA title. Usyk will visit our fight. He says he wants to fight the winner.

Therefore, the next fight might be a title fight, especially if Usyk is a man of his word. I know a few people close to him. They vouched for him, so we’ll see what happens,” said Wilder.

The fight between Deontay Wilder and Robert Helenius will take place on October 15 in Brooklyn.
