Deontay Wilder: 'In the fight with Usyk, I will shake the world, just like Ali once did'

During the boxing evening Inoue-Picasso, Alexander Usyk once again expressed his desire to meet Deontay Wilder in the ring in 2026. Wilder, for his part, acknowledges that their styles are significantly different.
Usyk, with his technical left-handed style and Olympic title, contrasts with Wilder, whose right hand is considered one of the most powerful among heavyweights, although his style is often described as rough and simple.
“He is really a very technical boxer,” noted Wilder. “From the first time I met Usyk, I always recognized his outstanding skills.”
Responding to criticism of his boxing approach, Wilder added:
“It’s amazing how people’s opinions change.
At one moment, when you’re at your peak and showcasing your abilities: ‘Oh, he’s wild, he’s raw, he doesn’t know how to box.’ And now, when they feel like you’re gone, they say: ‘We want the old Wilder back.’ So did you love him or not? Do you want him to come back, or do you want something new? Who exactly do you want?”
Nevertheless, it’s all good, brother. You can’t please everyone. It just won’t happen. You have to learn to accept that, especially in boxing. A sense of humor is essential here. And, of course, you need thick skin, and I have that. I have everything I need, and I eagerly await what God has prepared for me. It will be something grand, and people will be amazed. When Ali said he shook the world, he really did. I will shake it too — and I will do it for real.”
