Kicking the conversation off, Wilder talks about his time away from the sport and feeling reinvigorated heading into this fight.
“Just ready to go,” Wilder said. “the talking has been done, the training has been done. Here we are, the final presser.
The only thing we have left is the weigh-in and time to fight. The hardest part is just waiting. This is the hardest part, waiting on that time.
And I’m ready to go. “I was telling everybody I had to heal, and it took a long time for me to heal. But, you know, sometimes it takes those times to get to the point because sometimes we can rush things…I had to heal physically, emotionally, and mentally and I think I’ve done that and come Saturday night I will prove that.
