Deontay Wilder claims to be the king of the heavyweight division.

Deontay Wilder knows that he is on the radar of the top heavyweights who value legacy. The big fights mean big money, but Wilder says legacy is what gets remembered.

“Your legacy, when you die; you wanna be remembered by what you did,” said Wilder. “Not what you wore, what you had. Something that you did. Me, I bring something to these people. I bring value to them. I am the baddest man in the division.”

Wilder holds a knockout victory over Luis Ortiz, a high-risk, low reward fight opponent. The victory is meaningful to Wilder, as Ortiz was once viewed as the “boogeyman” of the division.

“I’m the king of the heavyweight division, Deontay Wilder.” said Wilder.
