I’m very close to a World Title shot and with all of the World Champions out there being tall we’ve been chasing tall opponents for the past few. We’ve been unlucky securing those fights so now we’re here with Helenius. “I’ve got a saying: ‘It’s better getting an ugly win than a pretty loss’, so I’ll do whatever I have to do when I get out there.” Wilder defends his WBC crown next weekend in Brooklyn against Bermane Stiverne, the man he wrestled the title from in January 2015, but Whyte has been far from impressed with the Oklahoma man’s reign and wants to rip the belt from him as he looks to gain a huge rematch with Saturday’s headliner Anthony Joshua. “Wilder is a disgrace,” said Whyte. “I want to get into a position to fight for his belt because he is not going to do it voluntarily. “They will say AJ is number one. He has multiple belts and he’s the only one who is fighting the names. Wilder is a chump, he’s not fought a mandatory in two years and Joseph Parker is defending his title on YouTube so that shows his level. That says it all. AJ is the man at the minute. I want the rematch with Joshua. I’d like to fight Parker or Wilder first they are the two weakest World champions. I’d beat one of those which would then set up a massive rematch with Joshua over here at Wembley or Cardiff or even another country – I’d even fight him in Nigeria!”
I can't wait for the day when Whyte becomes Wilder's mandatory. From that day forward, Wilder will have many sleepless nights.
