"I take Usyk's word for it and intend to challenge his team to a fight," said Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) after a spectacular, brutal knockout of Robert Helenius last weekend. - It seems that he was supposed to be at my fight, but in the end I did not see him. Most of the guys who promised they were ready to fight later changed their minds when they saw my knockouts, like the ones with Helenius. I'm ready for everything, but I want to fight Usyk," the Bronze Bomber said.

"We're here, we haven't gone anywhere, and we want to fight Joshua," said Shelley Finkel, Wilder's adviser and manager.

“Eddie Hearn contacted us a few months ago, but then we told him that at the moment Deontay should do with Helenius what he just did. So now Hearn can come to us with the truckload of money he promised earlier. He knows how to find us, we are waiting for him. So let's see if he changed his mind during this time, ”added Finkel.
