Deontay Wilder and interviewer Tris Dixon first met in 2008 and have remained in touch. Here, in an open and candid interview, Wilder talks about his return to the ring, using a sports psychologist to regain some confidence, and the futures of Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury.

Wilder also has harsh words for the business of boxing, and talks about the pitfalls he has faced and the issues he has suffered from, and he discusses how hard it is to be a fighter in the modern sport.

He also talks about why he got into boxing, and why he fights on despite having achieved generational wealth.
