The former world heavyweight champion hopes that the Ukrainian boxer will give him a chance.
Deontay Wilder is hoping to get in the ring against Oleksandr Usyk. According to the former world heavyweight champion, he hopes the Ukrainian will keep his word and give him a chance. At the same time, the American boxer dreamed that these fights would become title fights for him.
According to Wilder, he wants to face the Ukrainian in the ring after his next fight with Robert Helenius.
“Many people said they wanted to fight me, but then, when the time came, they went in a different direction. I asked about Usyk, and they told me that he is a man of his word. Let’s see what will happen if i win
This is a big match for Helenius, then he can be in a good position. If he wins, he will be the mandatory challenger for Usyk. It is a WBC eliminator. Some of us can even compete with Usyk. Helenius can fight him as the mandatory challenger for the WBA title. Usyk will visit our match. He said he wanted to fight the winner.
So the next fight could be a title fight, especially if Usyk is a man of his word. I know a few people who are close to him. They vouched for him, so we’ll see what happens,” Wilder said as quoted by Boxing News 24.
It can be remembered that Deontay Wilder’s next fight will be held on October 15 against Robert Helenius. Wilder previously said he would take the titles from Usyk if he could fight him in the ring.
