In two months\u2019 time, Deontay Wilder hopes to spoil Derek Chisora\u2019s farewell fight with a statement stoppage win. Then, there will be another heavyweight on Wilder\u2019s hitlist, as the American attempts to return to the peak of the division.<\/p>\n

Wilder has looked out of sorts in recent fights, unable to land his devastating right-hand, which has been the key factor behind his 43 career knockouts<\/a> and his reputation as one of the hardest punchers in boxing history.<\/p>\n

Yet, the 40-year-old looked bewildered in his last two contests at the elite level, beaten by both Joseph Parker<\/a> and Zhilei Zhang<\/a> and looking a shadow of his former self.<\/p>\n

Against Chisora, Wilder has one last chance to mount a charge towards the heavyweight throne and in an interview with Queensberry Promotions<\/a>, \u2018The Bronze Bomber\u2019 admitted that Oleksandr Usyk\u2019s unified heavyweight titles will be his next target, should he dispatch of \u2018Del Boy\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t see this fight going the distance, I really don\u2019t, it\u2019s impossible. Deep in my heart, [I know] it\u2019s going to be a knockout. His style is designed and made for mine and my style is designed and made for his.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really is going to be [about] who lands the most and I am a true one-punch knockout artist.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMost definitely, [after Chisora] I am coming for you Usyk. It\u2019s going to be a great fight, push the horses, let\u2019s go baby.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilder-Chisora will take place on Saturday, April 4, at the O2 Arena in London, with Viddal Riley poised to take on EBU European cruiserweight champion Mateusz Masternak in the co-main event of the bill.<\/p>\n

Usyk, who has expressed his interest in facing Wilder, has been linked with kickboxing champion Rico Verhoeven in the meantime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In two months\u2019 time, Deontay Wilder hopes to spoil Derek Chisora\u2019s farewell fight with a statement stoppage win.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":457417,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-457416","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/457416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=457416"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/457416\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/457417"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=457416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=457416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=457416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
