Wilder Confirms Heavyweight Title Defence Against Breazeale.
Deontay Wilder will defend his WBC heavyweight crown against Dominic Breazeale in May following the collapse of his proposed rematch with Tyson Fury, it was confirmed on Tuesday.
“I’m very happy that I get a chance to get a mandatory out of the way, because I consider mandatories like flies buzzing around my head,” Wilder told a press conference in New York on Tuesday. Wilder will be making his ninth title defense against Breazeale, who has 20 victories and one defeat, including 18 knockouts.
“I want that WBC title. What I bring to the fight is excitement and consistent action,” Breazeale said. “I’m going to bring the action all night. I’m not scared to stick my nose out there and look for the big shot. I know the big shot is coming as long as I set it up the right way.”
