Wilder vs Breazeale Preview
Wilder has feuded with Breazeale for over two years. He fueled their antagonistic relationship earlier this week, with a quote from Rocky IV.
“If he dies, he dies,’’ Wilder said, according to USA Today. “This is boxing. This is not a gentleman’s sport. This is a gladiator’s sport. And with bad blood, we know I possess the power.”
The 33-year-old added: “Man, this fight, with the bad blood we got, I don’t see this fight going long. I’ll be surprised if this fight goes past three rounds. I don’t like this guy. I don’t have no good intentions for him. I wish the worst on him.”
On February 27, 2017, Wilder defended his title against Gerald Washington in Birmingham, Alabama. Breazeale bested Izu Ugonoh in an undercard bout, and was supporting Washington.
According to Wilder — a Tuscaloosa, Alabama, native — Breazeale threatened his brother’s life at a hotel in the city later that night, prompting a confrontation between the fighters.
“I just put my hand in Breazeale’s face and I told him, ‘Never come to my city threatening my family ever. Don’t ever do that,'” Wilder said, per USA Today. “And it escalated from there. His coach started pushing and shoving and that’s when my team came in. They entered the building and then it was a whole scuffle.”
Wilder is 40-0-1 with 39 knockouts — 19 of which came in the first round. His last title defense, against Tyson Fury, ended in a controversial draw.
Breazeale, from Glendale, California, is 20-1. His lone loss came when he challenged Anthony Joshua for the IBF heavyweight title in June 2016.
The 33-year-old said he’s been emphasizing defense under trainer Virgil Hunter.
“I’m an offensive fighter,” Breazeale said, according to the Los Angeles Times. “I like to throw my hands, like to throw big bombs, but I can forget about my defense, so we’ve been working on coming back to my home base — my defense, my fundamental stance, my jab. Virgil stops you from making a mistake. He takes the time to teach.
“I’m not very fond of Wilder’s boxing style or how he’s grown as a boxer. This is the first time he’ll face someone who can take his shot and give his shot back, and put him down on the canvas. He hasn’t been down on the canvas as a pro, and when he does, I believe he’ll realize, ‘Oh [man], I’m in for a fight.’ He’s going to have to go through his checks and balances. ‘Do I really want to get up and fight this guy, or am I done?’ When I put him down, he’s going to be done. And if he gets up, I plan on ruining his career, put him into retirement.”
