Wilder after beating Stiverne
WBC
heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder has declared war on tough rival,
Anthony Joshua after he destroyed Bermane Stiverne in the first round of
their title fight. Deontay Wilder told Anthony Joshua "I declare war upon you" after retaining his WBC heavyweight title with a first round knockout of Bermane Stiverne.
Wilder knocked Stiverne to the canvas with a fierce right before flooring him again with a barrage of punches.
Stiverne was then knocked out as Wilder caught him with some brutal punches, including a left-right combination.
"I know I am the best. Are you up for the test?," asked Wilder of WBA and IBF heavyweight champion Joshua.
"I've been waiting on that fight for a long time now.
"I declare war upon you. Do you accept my challenge?"
American Wilder appeared to dismiss the prospect of fighting
Britain's Dillian Whyte, who last weekend won an eliminator to put
himself in a prime position to compete for a world title by claiming the
vacant WBC silver heavyweight crown.
Whyte has racked up six successive victories since losing to
Anthony Joshua in December 2015, and after Wilder's win wrote on
Twitter: "Well done @BronzeBomber but let's do this work Feb 3 at the O2. I ain't never scared, fact. Will fight anyone anytime."
However, Wilder said: "They are trying to give me a peasant in
Whyte. A king doesn't chase the peasants. A king takes kings. I want
Joshua. If he doesn't give me the fight we have other plans," added
Wilder.
"The world wants Joshua, the world wants Wilder, I want Joshua.
Joshua come and see me baby. No more dodging, no more excuses. Make the
date, don't wait. Let's see who is the best."
Wilder was taken the full distance for the only time in his career
when he beat Stiverne on points to claim the WBC belt in January 2015.
This time around he finished the fight with seconds left in the
opening round as he took his undefeated record to 39, 38 by way of
knockout.
