BS“Don King must have gotten options on Wilder for Stiverne not to fight” — Packy “Boom Boom” Goldstein, former President of the Queens Chapter of the Bermane Stiverne Fan Club

Newly crowned WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder and former beltholder Bermane Stiverne spoke to Showtime’s Jim Gray in the ring following Wilder’s twelve round unanimous decision to become the last American to win a version of the heavyweight title since 2006.

Deontay Wilder: “I’m just happy to bring this belt back to America officially…I think I answered a lot of questions tonight. We knew we could go twelve rounds, we knew we could take a punch, we knew we could give it. All the hard work was done in camp…I just wanted to show the world what Deontay Wilder was capable of and I think I proved that tonight. I don’t want nobody to doubt me no more.”

Bermane Stiverne: “It wasn’t my night. I didn’t feel 100%. Once I got in the ring, I couldn’t cut the ring. Couldn’t move my head like normal. I won’t take anything away from him. I just wasn’t able to do what I wanted and needed to do.”
