WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has stated that he can replace Floyd Mayweather Jr as the new face of boxing.
Mayweather is expected to end his career after his September match and Wilder claims that he can attract attention in the same way his fellow American has managed to do throughout his career.
"Floyd Mayweather seems to be coming to the end. Boxing needs me to take over. I believe I can be the exciting new face," Wilder said.
"There is nothing better than the heavyweights to keep the boom going. The fans love the big men. Historically ours is the sport's marquee division and it's great for the game that it is coming back to life.
"It's also time to bring back the undisputed heavyweight championship to America, where it belongs."
