By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten American heavyweight Deontay Wilder (27-0, 27 KO’s) is hoping to win over a new crop of fans on April 27th in his fight against former 2000 Olympic gold medalist Audley Harrison (31-6, 23 KO’s) in their scheduled 10 round fight at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield, Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
Wilder wants a highlight reel KO of Audley so that he can catch the imagination of boxing fans and show the difference between him and other heavyweights that have recently knocked Audley out in David Price and David Haye.
Wilder said to Sky Sports: “I don’t get no sleep, I don’t watch no TV. I don’t keep up with other fighters. I’m always working on my craft. In the beginning I was definitely a wild guy trying to get in tune with the heavyweight division, trying to please the crowd, but now I’m a much more polished fighter and much more of a calm fighter.
