Wilder: «The King Will Come on June 1»

American heavyweight (over 90.7 kg) Deontay Wilder (43-3-1, 42 KOs) commented on his upcoming fight against Chinese opponent Zhang Zhilei (26-2-1, 21 KOs).

«On June 1, everyone will see for themselves. I feel ready and I look ready. I had to go back to the basics. I had to return to what brought me to this place. Yes, I made mistakes – I was too blind to see them. Soon everything will happen, and I just can’t wait. I have to go and take what belongs to me. On June 1, the king will come,» said Wilder.

Deontay Wilder and Zhang Zhilei will meet on June 1 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Both fighters lost their previous bouts to the same opponent – interim champion Joseph Parker (35-3, 23 KOs).
