Former heavyweight world champion American Deontay Wilder commented on the upcoming fight with British veteran Derek Chisora, scheduled for April 4 in London.

"I can be friendly with everyone, but that doesn't mean I don't want to kick your ass. It so happens that we are fighters. And it's not just words. We can be friends outside the ring, but when it's time to fight, we set that aside.

I already told him: 'I want you to try to destroy me. Understand?' He looked at me strangely, but that's what I need. I have a brother I fought with, and I told him the same," The Ring quotes Wilder.
