Wilder: "Usyk is avoiding me"

Deontay Wilder (43-3-1, 42 KOs) suffered a disappointing loss to Joseph Parker, but still claims that Alexander Usik (21-0, 14 KOs) avoids him like the plague.

“I am always ready for anything, no matter what. Regardless of whether I have three weeks or eight weeks to prepare, like a warrior, I am ready to fight anyone. Usyk avoided me many times, although he was offered a lot of money. He denies it, but I’ve been in this business for a long time and I know a lot of things. They didn't want anything to do with me. “I’m still the same son of a bitch as before, I just need to take it back,” assures the Bronze Bomber.

Let us remember that Wilder received assurances from the Saudis about another offer to perform in the Middle East. However, his name is not yet on the schedule either for March 8, where the Anthony Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou fight will take place, or for May 18, where Tyson Fury will again try to prepare in time for Usyk.
