Well, I just had to overcome a lot in this thing tonight, and I always believed that if he couldn’t beat me when I was only 50% the man I am today, he never had a chance tonight.

Everybody knows I’m a master slick boxer, and I can jab and move around the ring for twelve rounds, but that didn’t work last time – I got a draw. Like I said, a draw is a failure to me because all I do is win, win, win. This time, I wanted the knockout and I think the only way I could guarantee that I was going to get a win was a knockout, so when me and Sugar Hill spoke, he (Hill) told me that I would knock him (Wilder) out and I believed in what he said. We worked to a game plan in the gym, er, yeah, we put it into practice in the ring. I’m my own worst critic, and even though it was a fantastic performance and it was a great win, I know I can do better. I’ve only just started with Sugar Hill in this style; I’ve had seven weeks to perfect a style that takes years in the Kronk gym in and out, but I’m a quick learner, and we’re going to be putting people to sleep left, right and centre. Don’t forget, when I came here they said I can’t punch. Deontay himself said that I’d got two pillow fists, but, you know, not bad for an old fat guy that can’t punch, eh? Done alright, eh?
I’m almost sure that he’ll take a rematch because he’s a dynamite puncher; anytime he could take somebody out. With that danger then you’re always in a fight so I’m pretty sure we’ll do it again if he wants to, but if he doesn’t want to, then these are my promoters and, you know, whatever they want to do, I’m happy with. Whoever’s next will get the same treatment, that’s for sure.
