Despite his relative inactivity, Wilder doesn’t expect his 12-round fight with Parker to last into the late rounds.

“You already know: knockout,” Wilder said when asked how quickly he expects to dispatch Parker in an interview with ESNews. “In my head I’m looking at three or four [rounds]. In my head, I see. But you never know. In my head that’s how I got it going. But I’m not going to force anything. I’m just gonna do what I do best. And that fight is going to be a knockout.”

“I like Joe,” Wilder said. “I’m the type of person I don’t have to be mad at you. I don’t have to talk about you and find things to come at you about to make it interesting. I do that naturally. If I like you, I like you. If I don’t, I don’t. I’m a zero to 100 guy. I don’t have a medium. You know what I mean? I’m not a pretender. None of that sh!t. with me I’m even more dangerous like that because people can’t read me.



“I can shake my enemy’s hand. I can give my enemy a hug. I can eat at the table with my enemy to let them know that, you know, I can do those things, but know that we’re still entitled to be—when we separate that’s where we go. There’s a time and place for all things.”
