While Deontay Wilder had this to say: “I’m happy and I’m excited that the rematch is finally happening. I want to give the fans what they want to see. “I’ve been doing it with my last three outings – Fury, Breazeale and Ortiz. They’ve been spectacular events – from my ring walks where I gather all the energy of the people, to my uniforms that I wear to help spread that energy. “Then I give them what they all come for – the knockouts, and my knockouts have been amazing. I proved myself the first time and I’m ready to do it again. It was a very controversial fight. “I promise my fans that there won’t be any controversy with this one. I’m going to finish it.”
