The former WBC heavyweight titleholder Deontay Wilder expressed confidence that he can beat the absolute champion of the division Ukrainian Oleksandr Usyk ahead of schedule.
"I know how to knock out Usyk. I will knock him out! He's too small for me and his style is perfect for me. My strength, power and speed will be too good for him," Wilder said in an interview with Fight Hub TV.
Wilder will face Zhang Zhilei, the former WBO interim champion, on June 1 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
