“Weight is not something we will worry about in this or the next fight. I gained too much before the last fight just because a lot of people expected to see me at that weight. It was also interesting for me to feel myself with such a mass. But at the moment I'm returning to what I'm used to, what I'm comfortable with. This is a weight in the region of 99 kg or less. At that time, I felt a little sluggish, heavy in movement.

I have never weighed 108 kg in my life, but it was an experiment that I wanted to try. We have done everything to gain weight. This experience has become part of my history. The only way to become wise is to apply knowledge in life. We got them and now we know what to do, ”the Mirror quoted the American as saying.

The Wilder-Helenius fight will take place on the morning of October 16, Kyiv time, in Brooklyn, USA.
