Wilder explained why he considers himself the face of boxing

Former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder explained why he should be considered the most iconic boxer of the modern era.

“Let a boxer from the bantamweight division rise to the heavyweight division. And we'll see who the face of boxing is. The heavyweight is ready to fight with anyone. You can't get the little guy to do the same. I'm a heavyweight and I'm ready to fight any fighter in the world.

Look at me at me. I'm probably one of the smallest heavyweights. A lot of fighters get angry when they have to gain 1 kg, while I fight guys 10-20 kg heavier than me. And these guys want to be considered the face of boxing? They are representatives of their division,” Boxing Social quotes Wilder.

Let us remind you that on December 23 in Riyadh, Wilder will share the ring with Joseph Parker.
