Wilder: «I Am Not Afraid of Death»

Former WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (43-3-1, 42 KOs) is pumped for his fight against Zhilei Zhang (26-2-1, 21 KOs), set for June 1 in Saudi Arabia as part of the showdown between Matchroom and Queensberry promotional companies.

«It’s been a truly fun camp, really engaging. I’ve been focused, my mindset has been on point, my aggression is off the charts – I’m ready to work.

I could say a lot, but on June 1, my unveiling will happen – everyone will witness it. I feel ready, I speak and look this way because I’m prepared in every aspect.

For me, it’s been a long journey. I had to relax and take a break. I can’t wait. I need to come back and take what’s mine.

I am not afraid of death. Look at my profession. We risk our lives for the entertainment of others. There’s nothing else like it, where athletes risk their lives for their money. Blood, sweat, and tears,» said Wilder.
