“Deontay told why the fight with Usyk never happened”, — write: sport.ua
Regarding the situation with Usyk. I am 40 years old. I’m ready to fight. I can’t sit back. And, of course, I had plans to reach the top. I won the previous battle. The next match will be of a slightly different level, a little higher. And Derek appeared – it was exactly the level, because we needed someone like that.
At that time, a situation arose with Usyk. First he said he wanted to fight me and then everyone started talking about it, then there was a phone call and we started talking about it. But I don’t think they had a clear date, a place where they wanted to fight. And all this dragged on. You know, time was passing, the clock was ticking. If you understand boxing, everything either happens slowly or very quickly. There is no middle ground and you have to be ready all the time,” Wilder said.
