Fresh off of defending his WBC heavyweight title, Deontay Wilder sounds confident a showdown against WBO, WBA and IBF champ Anthony Joshua and a rematch with Tyson Fury will happen.
"You're definitely going to see the both," Wilder told WFAN's "Boomer and Gio" show Monday morning. "All the big fights is going to happen. And the great thing about this all is all parties are talking. It's not like we're saying the fight's going to happen but nobody's in discussion of it.
"Especially at this point in time, the fighters want it to happen, but it's other parties that don't want things to happen."
Wilder said that in the past, Joshua's promoter, Eddie Hearn, has not been "fully invested in trying to make that happen because of what I can do." But now that DAZN's Johk Skipper is involved in talks, a fight that would crown a unified champion is looking more promising, Wilder said.
The Bronze Bomber made easy work of Dominic Breazeale on Saturday night at the Barclays Center, knocking him out in the first round.
The win came two days after Wilder told reporters he wanted to kill Breazeale in the ring, comments that were rebuked by the WBC.
"His life is on the line for this fight, and I do mean his life," Wilder said Thursday. "I’m still trying to get me a body on my record.
“This is the only sport where you can kill a man and get paid for it at the same time,” he added. “It’s legal, so why not use my right to do so?”
On Monday, Wilder said his comments came in response to Breazeale having threatened the champ's family.
"What I love so much about boxing is that you can resolve your differences inside the ring," Wilder said. "All that animosity, all the negative energy that's been built up towards me and my opponent, we can release that at that moment in time. Boxing give us the outlet to release. And at that point, I did everything that I set to do. I released my negative energy towards him inside of the ring."
Wilder said he told Breazeale right after the fight that the bad blood between them is "over."
"Because I want people to see what type of character I am not only inside the ring but outside the ring," Wilder said. "My heart is pure. I may say some of the darndest things. I even may make up words at times. But I'm in my moment. I'm very passionate about it."
