“I’ve broken so many times; I know what it feels like and what it looks like. It may be it’s just a little bit swollen, but it may have a little smaller fracture, so when I get back home, we’ll do X-rays and stuff and see how it is.”
Wilder raised issues over the gloves forward of the bout. At the ultimate face-off, he said: “I’ve broken my hands so many times and [I wasn’t happy] with the gloves that were provided. We had an issue with the glove being too tight on my hand.” Chisora shed mild on the dispute, explaining: “He wanted to use his own gloves, but I said no because they’re not board-approved, so I stood on my toes and said this is business.”

Wilder additional revealed that he held back from trying to knock out Chisora during the closing rounds, stating: “I held back a couple of times because I started thinking about him being with his children.”
