Undefeated American heavyweight Deontay Wilder ready for big things

Deontay Wilder is currently undefeated with 20 wins all by way of knockout. His most recent fight on November 26th only took 1 minute and 17 seconds. Wilder put David Long to sleep in 77 seconds, and now he looks to step up in 2012. This 6ft 7inch heavyweight is getting better and better with each fight and 2012 may very well be his breakout year.

Golden Boy Promotions has moved Wilder wisely. His lack of amateur experience is one reason the company has not stepped him up too deep too early. Now with 20 wins and 20 knockouts, it’s about time to make that step up, and Wilder agrees.

America has been starving for someone to come along and capture the heavyweight crown and Wilder may be the man to do it. He has one punch knockout power, he’s tall, and he has a strong desire to learn. 8CN just sat down with Deontay and got his thoughts on his recent victory over David Long, and much more.
