Barclays Center Post Fight Highlights
By Matt Richardson
Deontay Wilder: I knew I was winning. I knew it was pretty close but that didn’t bother me. My right hand is a monster. Sometimes I get scared of it myself.
Wilder on Povetkin: I’m looking forward to getting him out of his zone and coming to America. It’s too cold in Russia.
Promoter Lou DiBella: Povetkin is the mandatory. We’ve had discussions with their people and we’ll continue to have discussions with their people.
Charles Martin: It’s still soaking in. A lot of hard work. It was a long camp, 11 weeks. I had bad intentions on everything I was throwing. I’m a patient fighter and I knew we had 12 rounds to go and I was going to catch up to him eventually.
Derek Chisora was in attendance and challenged Martin to a fight. Martin said he would consider it. Both guys were respectful of one another.
Glazkov wasn’t able to attend due to his injury and Szpilka was sent to the hospital as a precautionary measure but he was speaking while on the stretcher and appears to be OK.
