Wilder: I am already in the Hall of Fame

On November 23 in Las Vegas Deontay Wilder (41-0-1, 40 KOs) will have a rematch with Luis Ortiz (31-1, 26 KOs). The American in case of victory will hold the tenth successful defense of his WBC heavyweight belt. "The Bronze Bomber" believes he deserves a place among the best in the history of boxing.

"My achievements were always underestimated, but I'm the king. I am the champion. The most feared man on the planet!" Wilder said during a meeting with journalists at a press conference in Los Angeles on Saturday.

"I should be in the Hall of Fame right now for what I have achieved already. Nobody has never had anything like it. I beat the strongest of all in the sport and at this time. I have the gift of power," said the undefeated American who in case of a win over Ortiz, on February 22 will face Tyson Fury (29-0-1, 20 KOs) for the second time.
