Zhilei: "In a fight with Wilder, I won't take a step backwards."

"At some point I lost my love for boxing and my passion for training," admitted Deontay Wilder (43-3-1, 42 KOs), who will face Zhang Zhilei (26-2-1, 21 KOs) in a fight for his future.

Wilder and Zhilei are considered the most powerful punchers in the world, and in their confrontation, one punch can really change everything. And it will all be decided on June 1 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

"I respect Zhang, he's a good fighter, but I feel very good and this is my time. Soon everyone will see if I have it or not. I believe that in the end, I will be left standing and he will be left lying down. My fighting heart is with me again," added "The Bronze Bomber" who has sat on the WBC heavyweight throne for over five years.

"He's a very dangerous puncher, the toughest puncher in our business, so I have to be very careful. But when it comes to a critical situation, I won't take a step back," promised the Chinese vice Olympic heavyweight champion sixteen years ago.
