Dominic Breazeale brands Deontay Wilder a "disgrace" ahead of heavyweight showdown

Deontay Wilder will defend his belts against mandatory challenger Dominic Breazeale on May 18 and then expected to take on Luis Ortiz and Adam Kownacki later this year. Breazeale has teamed up with legendary trainer Virgil Hunter ahead of the fight and says he is in perfect shape to take his chance with both hands. Ahead of his fight, Breazeale plans to do heavyweight boxing a favour by beating Wilder. "A win for myself is a win for the world," Breazeale told Sky Sports. "Nobody no longer wants to see Deontay Wilder as WBC heavyweight champion. He's a disgrace for not only American boxing, for heavyweight boxing in general. I think he finds it humbling and I think it ends his career, it retires him. A guy like Wilder, the surrounding that he has, he's not used to being down in the dumps and being a depressed individual. I think it cripples him, it sends him into some type of a depression and he never comes back to fight again."
