Deontay Wilder: ‘What other heavyweight is doing what I do?
Stephanie Trapp/Showtime

WHAT other heavyweight is doing what I do? What other heavyweight has power like me? I don’t have to put you out in punches in bunches. I don’t have to do that. One punch. Goodnight.

I’m happy that I’ve had time to calm down and think about things. I’m happy that I’m fighting Bermane Stiverne [on November 4] because he’s my mandatory. I can finally get him out the way so I’ll be a free man.

This is the story of my life. Every situation that I’m put in, I try to be optimistic about. It’s easy to appreciate the good. But when the bad comes, some people don’t know how to manage that.

I’m the most frustrated guy around. I don’t understand. The best are supposed to fight the best, right? I’ve always done that. I called Wladimir Klitschko out years ago.

People make so many excuses for my career. The one who is actually trying to make a legacy out of their career, he’s the only one that’s not complaining. The people who don’t have to get in the ring and endure this suffering are the ones that are complaining.
