Following his exciting win, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ became emotional. He thanked everyone for supporting him in his low time and appreciated spectators for coming out to make his highly anticipated return more inspiring.
Next, he reminded the big names of the division that he was back with more energy and claimed that he was ready to face anyone to reign the throne of heavyweight once again. Since the Ukranian is rumored to be interested in locking horns with him so he put his name on notice.
“I’ve been hearing rumors about Usyk. I see he ain’t in the building or is he? Most of the time when guys say they want me and they come to a show of mine and then they see a devastating knockout like that they turn the corner on me. I had only had a minute so I’m down for whatever what is this Andy Ruiz or where is Usyk or whoever. Let’s bring it on”, Wilder said in the post-fight ring interview.
