“We have definitely moved to the level of serious discussion of this fight. Boxing is a business, and it is not always possible to come to an agreement, but now we are negotiating with Usyk, that is true. I’m looking forward to this fight. As soon as I receive the final confirmation, I will be very happy and start training.”
“Am I surprised by Usyk’s choice? Not really. 50 for 50. To be honest, during my career few people gave me chances, they were afraid of my shot. But as soon as I started losing, those who want to enter the ring with me immediately appeared,” said Wilder.
Earlier, Usyk asked the WBC to conduct a mandatory defense of his heavyweight title and chose Wilder as his opponent.
The WBC gave Usyk permission to fight the American.
