I donโt live my life with pressure.ย Iโm an easy-going person.ย Iโm the type of person, peopleโs opinions about me doesnโt matter, especially when Iโm in the ring because I know that everything I do, I prepare for, I train hard for each and every time, in camp, in training.
Iโm always training, I never stop.ย I donโt take any days off.ย Iโm always training because I love to do this.ย I love to box.ย I love to be able to get in there and perform for the fans, so I donโt have any days off.ย But you canโt please everybody.ย There are too many billions of people in the world to try to please every opinion, to try to please everybody. Even when people said things about me, what I couldnโt do, my last fight I proved everything to them.ย That made me an even more dangerous fighter because now people know what Iโm capable of doing.ย Not only that Iโm a puncher, but I can box.ย I can have fun.ย I can go 12 rounds and make it seem like it is nothing.ย I can take a punch.ย Thatโs nothing, but weโve been telling people for years what I could do, just needed the right person in there for me to display my talents.ย Thereโs no pressure on me at all.
I donโt go in there and try to look for the knockout, anyway.ย I go in there and let my hands go, and if I get the knockout, I get it.ย I would prefer the knockout, of course.ย This is a heavyweight division.ย Itโs all based about power.ย When people get dressed up and come out to that fight, they come to see a knockout.ย They want to see a couple of rounds or whatever, to see what kind of skill and will that person has, maybe a little heart, and then they want to see the knockout because theyโve got other things planned for that night.
And when they come to see a Deontay Wilder fight, thatโs what I want to bring them.ย I want to bring them knockouts, but that last fight, it meant so much more than just a knockout because I did, I wanted to prove to people what I was capable of doing.ย I think that particular night, winning a title, that was the perfect moment to prove what Iโm capable of doing and what Iโm all about.
So, now itโs time to get back on to my knockout streak like people expect from me, and thatโs what I want to do, so here we go, baby.
