WBC heavyweight champion Deontay “Bronze Bomber” Wilder says he’ll retire from boxing if he loses his title fight.
Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) will defend his WBC title Saturday night against his mandatory challenger 38-year-old Bermane Stiverne (25-2-1, 21 KOs) in their fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
A loss for Wilder, 31, against would result in him losing millions upon millions of dollars in his hoped for unification fight against IBF/WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua going down the drain.
“If Bermane beats me, ya’ll don’t have to hear about me anymore. I’m retired. I may move to MMA or some s—. That’s fact!” said Wilder on Tuesday in his conference call to discuss his fight against Stiverne on Showtime Championship Boxing.
“If Stiverne beats me, I will retire. It doesn’t get much more serious than that. So let the games begin,” Wilder said.
“Everything he gave me (in the first fight), I ate like breakfast as a sick man in the ring,” said Stiverne about the power shots he took from Wilder in their fight 2 years ago.
“He say he ate my punches for breakfast? Then I hope he made room for lunch,” Wilder added.
