EXCLUSIVE Deontay Wilder: I may have only been four rounds but I have no worries at all about going 12

NO worries at all โ€“ย I already know what I can do.

“Going rounds is nothing. When you know your potential that you have, itโ€™s no worries at all. If I wasnโ€™t in the shape that I was then there would be worries but I already answered all those questions, I already know myself from the training that I do. Not only in the gym but my strength training as well.

“The only thing you can study is that heโ€™s strong, and maybe a certain punch he likes to hit guys with to knock him out. I never do everything twice all the time, Iโ€™m always switching to other stuff like that. The most difficult thing to do is train for a fighter that you donโ€™t know, that you donโ€™t really know nothing about. Iโ€™ve only been four rounds four times in my whole career.

“I have regularly sparred 12 rounds.

“Even in the amateurs I was a big puncher, that was without even lifting weights. Iโ€™ve always been naturally strong. Even on the football team I always been that guy that, that skinny guy that can lift just as much as the bigger guy. My body just took a little bit longer than others to develop.”
