Deontay Wilder spoke to media ahead of his clash with Zhilei Zhang on the Matchroom vs. Queensberry undercard. Deontay talks on working with Eddie Hearn, stating it's strictly business. Deontay says he enjoys fighting in Saudi Arabia as it's more acceptable to get a body on his record, and that is what he seeks vs. Zhilei Zhang in Riyadh.

Bipolar Wilder. Either wants to catch a body or not throw a single punch

[@lukewyeth1568]

He really shouldn't say things like that.

[@JamieLowe-xp1le]

He doesn’t mean it check the presser after he knocked helenuis out he was crying about a fellow boxer passing away he’s all talk guy doesn’t want a body on his record at all says it to make himself sound scary

He clearly doesn't mean it though. He came close with Robert Helenius and it clearly broke him up inside.

[@user-zv1zz5xd3j]

@@JamieLowe-xp1le Before the ayahuasca he definitely meant it, that Helenuis fight was the first bout he had since taking it. I think he's just saying it now to try and convince himself that he's still the same devastating, bloodthirsty fighter that he once was.

[@TheStraightestWhitest]

It was after that third Fury fight. That's where he said himself he just wasn't the best. As cringe as the excuses after the second fight were, it at least showed that he was still venomous, still hungry. He couldn't accept not being the best. That's a championship mentality. All champions are somewhat delusional. They have to be. They genuinely do not see themselves losing. After that third fight, he lost it. He hasn't lost his physical ability (evident from that Helenius KO), but he was already moving backwards in that fight. Wilder never does that shit unless forced to.

[@brianunderwood2966]

As a combat veteran (Iraq & Afghanistan) who has killed numerous people and have seen even more people die in different ways, I can guarantee that he really doesn't want to kill anyone. He thinks he does, but he'll quickly realize he doesn't if it were to ever happen. Unless they didn't see it coming, most people you kill will die with a frightened look on their faces. In close quarter combat, the images of that are seared into your brain forever, which means many sleepless nights and frequent nightmares that are really just you reliving what you've experienced in your dreams. There's much more to it, but if he really wants even a little bit of that, go for it!
