DEONTAY WILDER believes he will end British boxing's heavyweight dominance. He beat Tyson Fury on Saturday, and then chinning Oleksandr Usyk.
The 34-year old Ukrainian ace has reclaimed all three of AJ's world titles and is the hot favourite to win the rematch in early next year.
Deontay Wilder is certain that he will defeat Tyson Fury and reclaim his title as the world's best
Wilder hopes to end Tyson Fury's WBC career Saturday, and then to take down the sensational southpaw to be the undisputed heavyweight king after Lennox Lewis.
The Bronze Bomber was asked if Usyk was his top hitlist. He replied: "Most definitely. I like the things Usyk says.
"He predicted I would knock Fury out. He said he didn't doubt Joshua would knock him out. After that, he wanted to go straight to it because he is older and he means business.
"I believe he is an honorable man. He will keep his word, I believe.
"Many people get the belt, then act funny with it, but with him, it's a warrior, and I'm looking forward it because the only way that I can retire is if I attain, "One champion, one face and one name".
"This is it. This is to end the book about me and Fury. This is it.
BETTING SPECIAL GET 30/1 ON FURY OR 50/1 ON WILDER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT BOXING CLASHDespite Wilder's ten world titles defenses and five years of racking up highlight reel KOs over five amazing years, Wilder has never won over America.
Fury, who is here from Morecambe feels like a home fighter, but Wilder believes that he will be given the recognition he merits by settling their trio.
He stated, "This is the defining moment."
"I know that I will be able to get it at the end my career or when I am sadly buried but I'm likely to be 150 when it comes time for me to die, but I want it now. I'm not interested in the same old trends.
"There are not enough trend-setters. There are too many followers of the trends." People always admire great fighters at death or in the final stages of their lives. This needs to change.
"In this sport, there's no need to be cocky or confident because it takes a lot of work to get into the ring.
"Respect those who step over the ropes and throw their hands.
"You must respect a man for his good and bad achievements. We look for appreciation.
Wilder's one-punch power is so terrifying that he has almost never been an underdog since turning professional in 2008, only a few months after winning bronze at Beijing Olympics.
He was beaten by Fury, but he now stands as the outsider in the T-Mobile Arena showdown. He claims he loves the odds.
Wilder said, "I love being an underdog." Many fighters enjoy being the underdog. It's because they have nothing to lose and everything that they can prove.
"You are under less pressure. This is a great position. God isn't a fool, he only wants things to work out for a reason.
"The Bible tells us to not rely on our understanding. This is exactly what I did. It was a wonderful camp, and I look forward to the October 9th.
