WBC Heavyweight World Champion Deontay Wilder sat down with SHOWTIME Sports correspondent Brendan Schaub as part of a wide-ranging interview providing a glimpse into the mindset of the undefeated champion as he prepares for the most significant heavyweight event in the U.S. in more than 15 år. The 6-foot-7 Wilder meets 6-foot-9 lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury December 1 bor på SHOWTIME PPV® fra STAPLES Center i Los Angeles.

 

 

 

Wilder, who is America’s only true heavyweight champion since 2007, discusses everything from his career-defining win over Luis Ortiz and his incredible knockout power, to the pressures of being the heavyweight champion of the world and his love for his family in the candid 35-minute interview from a double-decker bus in Los Angeles.

 

 

 

The Tuscaloosa, Ala. indfødte, dog, had the most to say about his upcoming battle with Fury. “Throughout my whole career, guys always said I only had one hand,” Wilder explains to Schaub as they head to Los Angeles International Airport following Monday’s media day in Santa Monica. “But when you get in the ring, it’s going to be different. The game plan is going to go out the window, like Mike Tyson said.

 

 

 

“This is the moment in time for America to wake up and understand they have the baddest man on the planet right here,” Wilder passionately continues. “And you think I’m going to let this Gypsy come in here and mess up all those plans for me? I don’t think so.”

 

 

 

The heavyweight showdown headlines the December 1 SHOWTIME PPV live fra STAPLES Center i Los Angeles (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT). Wilder, who has knocked out all seven challengers of his title, will attempt to make his eighth WBC Heavyweight defense. In the third fight of his comeback, Fury has the opportunity to become a two-time heavyweight world champion.

 

FULL INTERVIEW:

 

 

 

 

Vi introducerer den ubesejrede Heavyweight Sensation James “The Beast” Wilson

Golden Boy kommer ind “Beast Mode eller No Mode”
Jared Shaw administrerede Heavyweight, som for nylig blev indgået en salgsfremmende aftale med Golden Boy Promotions

Los Angeles, F.EKS. (November 8, 2018) – I en tid, hvor sværvægtsboksning igen er en hed division. Spørgsmålet er stadig stillet, hvem bliver den næste Mike Tyson-agtige knockout-kunstner? Eller har sportsgrene som fodbold og basketball taget de bedste store mænd væk fra boksning?

 

 

 

Indtast James “The Beast” Wilson.

 

 

 

Wilson har alle de ovennævnte egenskabers egenskaber. En fantastisk atlet, som var i en NFL træningslejr med en baggrund i kampe, der viser voldsom kraft.

 

 

 

Wilson, der netop har skrevet under med Golden Boy Promotions, har en registrering af 8-0 med syv knockouts, men hans historie begynder forfra 20 år siden i Los Angeles gader.

 

 

 

Wilson gik igennem hårde tider og var hjemløs mellem alderen af 13 og 15, hvor han sov på moteller, park bænke, og brusebad i de parker. Wilson havde et rids med loven, og det ændrede hans liv….for det bedste.

 

 

 

“Jeg blev spærret inde og derefter placeret i en gruppe. Det fik mig faktisk til at have struktur og placerede mig på rette vej. Jeg klarede mig godt i skolen og begyndte at dyrke sport, og nu havde jeg positive muligheder i mit liv,” sagde Wilson.

 

 

 

Wilson blev Los Angeles Times High School Football Player of the Year, samt en tre gange all-city Track & Feltatlet, hvilket gav ham et stipendium til Concord University i West Virginia.

 

 

 

Wilson, som er uddannet i sociologi, fortsatte derefter med at spille professionel fodbold alle steder, Polen.

 

 

 

Derefter fik han en invitation til træningslejr med Chicago Bears. Men han valgte at følge en anden atletisk passion.

 

 

 

“Jeg begyndte at lave Kenpo-Karate, Muay-Thai og kickboksning.” Wilson havde en professionel kickboxing rekord af 16-2-1 hvor han konkurrerede i toporganisationer som K-1 og Glory.

 

 

Efter det, Wilson forsøgte sig med MMA og opnåede en imponerende 5-2 rekord og kæmpede om de højt respekterede Bellator Fighting Championships.

 

 

 

Stadig ikke tilfreds, Wilson begyndte at bokse.

 

 

 

Wilson rejste igen jorden rundt og begyndte sin punching for lønkarriere i New Zealand.

 

 

 

“Jeg kendte en promotor i New Zealand, og jeg var i stand til at kæmpe hver uge der. Det fremskyndede min proces og udvikling. Jeg kom tilbage til Los Angeles, og var i stand til at få yderligere fire sejre.”

 

 

 

På 7-0, Wilson mødte derefter mangeårig bokseindustrispiller, Jared Shaw.

 

 

 

Shaw så videoer af Wilson på sin Instagram-konto, og nåede ud til den ubesejrede sværvægter.

 

 

 

“Jared kontaktede mig, og mødtes i fitnesscentret, og han havde det samme syn for mig, som jeg havde, og resten er historie.”

 

 

 

“Jeg så James som en diamant i roughen,” sagde Shaw. “Han har den kombination og hurtighed og kraft, som man ikke ser i sværvægtsdivisionen. Det har han “det” faktor, som jeg så med Kimbo Slice. Jeg var så heldig at have meldt Kimbo fra de kampe, der blev set på Youtube. Da Kimbo kom ind i et værelse, du følte nærvær og energi. Jeg ser mange af de samme kvaliteter i forhold til, at James er den type attraktion. Enhver, der forveksler James med en fodboldspiller eller en Mixed Martial Artist, vil helt sikkert have hænderne fulde i bokseringen. Dette er en blue-chip atlet, ” sagde Shaw, der voksede op i sporten som hans far Gary Shaw, har været en af ​​de bedste promotorer i verden i de sidste tre årtier.

 

 

 

 

 

Shaws første job var at få James med den rigtige træner. Indtast Justin Fortune.

 

 

 

“Jeg har kendt Justin i lang tid. Både som styrke- og konditionstræner og som træner. De fleste ville kende ham ved siden af ​​Manny Pacquiao, men måske ved de fleste ikke, at Justin var en sværvægter, der kæmpede mod Lennox Lewis. Det, jeg bedst kan lide ved denne parring, er, at Justin også var en kortere sværvægter, men en kraftig puncher. Hans mange års erfaring er det, der vil hjælpe James med at accelerere hans vækst i sporten. Som et hold, vi har et mål om at bringe et verdensmesterskab tilbage til Los Angeles og rettidigt,” fortsatte Shaw.

 

 

 

Shaws næste træk var at finde den rigtige promotor for Wilson at skrive under med, og duoen fandt en af ​​de største virksomheder i verden, der var interesseret.

 

 

 

“Mange promotorer kiggede på mig. Jeg mødtes med Golden Boy, og de så mit talent og vision, og jeg føler, at de vil få det til at ske for mig, og tag mig til verdens sværvægtsmesterskab,” sagde Wilson.

 

 

 

Shaw talte meget om ægteskabet mellem fighter og promotor.

 

 

“Det er den perfekte situation. Golden Boy Promotions er en af ​​de førende inden for vores sport, når det kommer til promotionvirksomheder. I denne situation, det viste sig, at du har en stor udsigt fra Los Angeles, der kæmper fra et verdenskendt firma baseret i Los Angeles. Lige nu er Golden Boy i toppen af ​​sporten. De promoverer uden tvivl den bedste fighter i verden i Canelo Alvarez, og de var i stand til at sikre ham en hidtil uset aftale med DAZN. Vi ser frem til de muligheder, der vil komme for James, og for at fremvise James’ ekstraordinære færdigheder. jeg har 100% tillid til Oscar (De La Hoya), Eric (Gomez) og Robert (Diaz) at føre James til verdens sværvægtsmesterskab, og hjælpe med at maksimere hans indtjeningspotentiale. Los Angeles har aldrig haft en sværvægtsmester, så det giver god mening, at den første vil være med et komplet Los Angeles-baseret team med James, Justin, Golden Boy og mig selv. ”

 

 

 

“Det, jeg gerne vil have, at folk skal vide om James, er det inde i rebene, han er en Beast and Human Highlight Film, så Blink ikke. Men uden for ringen, han er en utrolig far for sine tre drenge. En fantastisk motiverende foredragsholder, og en positiv rollemodel for indre byer og resten af ​​verden. Han er stor på fællesskab og hjælper de unge. Især dem, der bliver mobbet.”

 

 

 

Wilson taler til mange unge om Anti-mobning. “Jeg holder en masse taler og seminarer for anti-mobning. Jeg går på mange skoler og plejehjem og fortæller dem min historie. Jeg tror, ​​jeg kan være en for børn at se op til og lade dem vide, at de har en fremtid, uanset hvilken situation de befinder sig i. Jeg fortæller børn, at dine hænder er våben, din mund er et våben, og det eneste sted at slås er inde i en ring.”

 

 

 

Når han bliver spurgt, hvem han vil kæmpe, og hvad hans mål er i sporten, sagde Wilson, “Jeg ønsker ikke at bekæmpe nogen specifikt, Jeg søger at bekæmpe dem alle. Mest vigtigt, Jeg er her for at give fansene noget at se. Det er 365 dage af “Dyr” årstid. Det er Beast Mode eller No Mode.”
