I was raised by both parents up to 17. We had a good family. We had a middle class family, good teaching and good surroundings, raised by the church, where I went every week whether I wanted to or not.
From Deontay Wilder
My neighborhood was normal. I had a neighborhood where everyone knew everyone. Typical American upbringing. Sometimes we got into trouble, but everyone watched after each other, so if my parents didn't see me making trouble, another family would tell them.
I'm one of the baddest, hardest-hitting heavyweights in the business. Right here from Alabama, baby.
Of course I want the Furys, of course I want the Joshuas, but the question is, do they want me?
It don't matter if I got a broke hand, got a torn muscle: I'm going to fight like heavyweight champions do.
I don't play boxing.
I will be that guy to change this sport, especially in the heavyweight division. A lot of people have lost interest. I'm the right man for the job... I want to make it bigger and better than it ever have been before.
The craziest thing about it, I used to hate fighting, but you had to show how tough you was; you had to show you wasn't no punk.
When they throw punches, the breathing, the sparring. The heavy bags being hit. All of that - it was a heavenly sound to me.
Whether somebody think badly of me, whether somebody don't feel that I should be doing this or I should be doing that way, I don't really care. Whether they think that my fatigue is being laid, legs are skinny, I don't care.
