The former WBC heavyweight champion claims his self-belief has never been higher ahead of Saturday's London showdown.
Deontay Wilder is radiating supreme confidence as he prepares to step back into the ring against Derek Chisora this Saturday night at London's O2 Arena. The American knockout artist, known as the 'Bronze Bomber', insists his mental state has reached unprecedented levels ahead of what promises to be a heavyweight thriller.
Wilder's return to action comes at a crucial juncture in the heavyweight division, where African fighters like Francis Ngannou are making waves after his crossover from MMA. The Alabama native will be looking to recapture the form that made him one of boxing's most feared punchers during his dominant WBC title reign.
Chisora, the veteran British-Zimbabwean warrior, represents a significant test for Wilder's comeback ambitions. 'Del Boy' has never been an easy night's work for anyone, and his African heritage adds extra spice to a contest that could reshape the heavyweight landscape.
With Anthony Joshua also plotting his return and the heavyweight scene more competitive than ever, Wilder knows that Saturday's performance could determine whether he gets another shot at the division's elite. The Bronze Bomber's confidence might be sky-high, but Chisora has built a career on deflating the hopes of supposed sure things.
