He's willing to make the fight in the UK too. That would be good? Wilder has a big task this weekend though, so he shouldn't overlook Stiverne.
Old school thinking, call out the ones at the top, then go for it, rather than Whoever my promoter wants me to fight spiel.

Gotta' like the kid's tenacity.

He says that though but it's taken 33 fights to fight somebody with a pulse
True, but I understand why.

Olympians Luis Yanez, RauShee Warren, GARY Russell JR, Demetrius Andrade
were touted as the best Olympians. Raynell Williams, Sadam Ali & Javier Molina and I think even Shawn Estrada all had way more amatuer fights overall then Wilder.

Yet the least skilled or experienced amatuer shall I say- pulled a medal.

So for those who say football players wouldn't make good boxers should know that was Wilder's goal.
But he turned to boxing knowing he could make some money- where NCAA football wasnt a guarantee he'd make it..so he turned amatuer in 2005? And won a medal in 2008? Tam you would know way better than I how difficult that is...you're a fighter.

There was no skill he could have accumulated IMO to win the medal- that was heart, will power and KO power. No fundamentals -just On the job training..& Mark Breland know this,- give him a heepin' of tomato cans, build his confidence- but his power keeps him from gaining rounds..So that IMO is why they have taken so long to get here...but guess what?
He's here now!
