Deontay Wilder always seeks the finish against his opponents, but warns that it will be worst for Dominic Breazeale.

WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder vows to brutally punish mandatory challenger Dominic Breazeale for calling him out. Wilder (40-0-1, 39KOs) sat ringside when Breazeale (20-1, 18KOs) knocked out Carlos Negron last December at the Barclays Center.

After the stoppage, Breazeale then pointed and shouted at Wilder from the ring. Breazeale will now get his wish on Saturday when he challenges Wilder for the championship title in the same venue.

“Dominic Breazeale asked for this,” said Wilder. “I didn’t seek him, he seeked me. So if it comes, it comes. This is a brutal sport, this is not a gentlemen’s sport. I keep saying this isn’t a gentlemen’s sport. We don’t ask to hit each other in the face, but we does anyway.”

However Wilder’s fuel against Breazeale burns deeper than just simply being called out. A brawl took place two years ago in a Alabama hotel lobby, which involved Wilder, his younger brother Marsellos; and Breazeale

Wilder claims that Breazeale sucker punched Marsellos from behind, to which Marsellos reacted by dropping him. As Wilder gets set to make the ninth defense of his title, the killer instinct to finish his opponents inside the ring thrives more for this opponent in particular.

“You can ask any doctor around the world,” said Wilder. “He’ll tell you (the) head is not meant to be hit. Anybody can go. And on this particular time, we have bad blood against each other. This is the only sport where you can kill a man and get paid for it at the same time. It’s legal, so why not use my right to do so?”

The champion of Tuscaloosa, Alabama then smiled and gestured with his eyebrows upon finishing his last line.
