(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Scott Gilfoid: Deontay Wilder (32-0, 32 KOs) expects not only to soundly beat WBC heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne (24-1-1, 21 KOs) this Saturday night in their title fight, but also put many of his team members out of work at the same time with the victory at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. Deontay wants to beat 6’2” Stiverne in such a convincing manner that his team members will be out of work.
“I am super-confident and I can’t wait. Someone is going to lose their job. I am going to put his whole team out of commission. That’s my promise,” Deontay said.
That would be interesting if Stiverne either cleaned out his team after a knockout loss to Deontay, or his team members abandoned ship after he lost his title, leaving one by one.
